Subject: [PATCH 12/16 v4] ibmveth: Automatically enable larger rx buffer pools for larger mtu
Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:34:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080723183423.GO12905@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080723181932.GC12905@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
From: Santiago Leon <santil@us.ibm.com>
Activates larger rx buffer pools when the MTU is changed to a larger
value. This patch de-activates the large rx buffer pools when the MTU
changes to a smaller value.

We would like to take this patch through linuxppc-dev with the full
change set for this feature. We are copying netdev for review and ack.
