Allow multiple LTBs in the txpool's ltb_set. i.e rather than using a single large LTB, use several smaller LTBs. The first n-1 LTBs will all be of the same size. The size of the last LTB in the set depends on the number of buffers and buffer (mtu) size. This strategy hopefully allows more reuse of the initial LTBs and also reduces the chances of an allocation failure (of the large LTB) when system is low in memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
