Subject: [PATCH v2] net: stmmac: add BQL support
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 19:07:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421863647-20048-1-git-send-email-b.galvani@gmail.com> (raw)

Add support for Byte Queue Limits to the STMicro MAC driver.

Tested on a Amlogic S802 quad Cortex-A9 board, where the use of BQL
decreases the latency of a high priority ping from ~12ms to ~1ms when
the 100Mbit link is saturated by 20 TCP streams.

Signed-off-by: Beniamino Galvani <b.galvani@gmail.com>

Changes since v1:
 - don't access skb->len after the start of DMA transmission in
   stmmac_xmit(), to avoid potential use after free in case tx_lock is
   removed in the future
