I'm finding that my NetBSD 7 web-server VMs are often dropping off
the network with "xennet0: rx no buf" errors, even under only moderate
load. When this happens, the machines usually end up unresponsive and need
to be hard-rebooted.

The code is pretty naive with buffer allocation.

That doesn't make it any less annoying. Adding RAM doesn't appear to help.

Any workarounds or mitigation besides rebooting nightly? Can I pre-emptively check for near buffer exhaustion to allow for a reboot or ifconfig down/up?
