Hm, truesize is the buffer size, right? If the driver allocated n bytes
of memory for packets it sent up the stack, the truesizes of the skbs
it generated must add up to approximately n bytes.
So if the HW places one aggregation session per buffer, and the buffer
is 32kB -- to avoid mem use ratio < 25% you'd need to copy all sessions
smaller than 8kB?
If I'm not making sense - just ignore, I haven't looked at the rest of
the driver :)
