Failure to do so will exhaust the limited dmabuf that is bound to the RX queue and will lead to packet drops. +The user must pass no more than 128 tokens, with no more than 1024 total frags +among the token->token_count across all the tokens. If the user provides more +than 1024 frags, the kernel will free up to 1024 frags and return early. + +The kernel returns the number of actual frags freed.
