Subject: [NET] Fix PCnet32 performance bug on non-coherent architecutres
Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2007 22:30:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070304223033.GA23622@linux-mips.org> (raw)
The PCnet32 driver always passed the the size of the largest possible packet
to the pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu and pci_dma_sync_single_for_device.
This results in a fairly large "colateral damage" in the caches and makes
the flush operation itself much slower. On a system with a 40MHz CPU this
patch increases network bandwidth by about 12%.
