Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] bnx2x: save RAM in kdump kernel by disabling TPA
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:04:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1393340666-3539-4-git-send-email-mschmidt@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1393340666-3539-1-git-send-email-mschmidt@redhat.com>

When running in a kdump kernel, disable TPA. This saves memory, which
tends to be scarce in kdump.

TPA, being a receive acceleration, is unlikely to be useful for kdump,
whose purpose is to send the memory image out.

This saves additional 5 MB in the kdump environment.
