Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] netvsc: optimize calculation of number of slots

From: Stephen Hemminger <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 11:31:57 -0700

Speed up transmit check for fragmented packets by using existing
macros to compute number of pages, and eliminate loop since
each skb fragment is only one page.
