From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: frank.blaschka@de.ibm.com Subject: [patch 5/5] [PATCH] qeth: Reduce CPU consumption through less SIGA-r calls Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:31:16 +0100 Message-ID: <20111115123152.686856892@de.ibm.com> References: <20111115123111.128739986@de.ibm.com> Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline; filename=623-qeth-reduce-siga.diff Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Archive: List-Post: To: davem@davemloft.net Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-s390@vger.kernel.org, Einar Lueck List-ID: From: Einar Lueck Patch avoids SIGA-r calls in case of SIGA-r required. It only calls SIGA-r if a threshold of free buffer is reached. CPU consumption is reduced as a consequence.
