Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] sfc: Use 64-bit writes for TX push where possible
Date: Thu, 01 Sep 2011 23:09:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1314915000.2733.16.camel@bwh-desktop> (raw)
This was originally done as part of commit
65f0b417dee94f779ce9b77102b7d73c93723b39 ("sfc: Use write-combining to
reduce TX latency"), but that had to be reverted.
