Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sky2: rx allocation threshold change
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 14:50:16 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071128145016.2e7e85b8@freepuppy.rosehill> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20071128142703.7f0b5e5d@freepuppy.rosehill>
When using larger MTU's sky2 driver changes from allocating one
data area, to using multiple pages. The threshold for this was based on
a heuristic where the cost of a single allocation is bigger than one
page. Since the allocator has changed, this heuristic is now incorrect;
instead just make the threshold be when the total size of the allocation
is greater than one page.
