Subject: [PATCH 1/7] ixgb: add RNBC counter - no buffer count - to ethtool stats
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:10:41 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080221231041.5595.4933.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
This counter is valuable to determine if the system is unable
to timely return buffers to the hardware and this counter starts
to increase well before the hardware starts to drop packets. If
users experience rx_no_buffer_count increasing, they should increase
the amount of descriptors. That will provide more buffers for the
hardware and will decrease the chance of hard drops.
