Subject: [net-next 1/9] ixgbe: Remove code that was initializing Rx page offset
Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 15:48:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1345157318-23731-2-git-send-email-peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1345157318-23731-1-git-send-email-peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@intel.com>
From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>
This change reverts an earlier patch that introduced
ixgbe_init_rx_page_offset. The idea behind the function was to provide
some variation in the starting offset for the page in order to reduce
hot-spots in the cache. However it doesn't appear to provide any
significant benefit in the testing I have done. It has however been a
source of several bugs, and it blocks us from being able to use 2K
fragments on larger page sizes. So the decision I made was to remove it.
