Subject: [PATCH 11/13] forcedeth: performance changes
Date: Thu, 05 Mar 2009 13:02:30 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49B013B6.1010202@nvidia.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 380 bytes --]
This patch modifies the throughput mode poll settings to reduce the
number of interrupts. This is only used by older hardware that need a
timer irq in throughput mode.
Secondly, this patch increases the default rx ring from 128 to 512. This
drastically improves bandwidth utilization for small packets sizes i.e
512 bytes.
