Subject: [PATCH 6/9] sky2: reduce default transmit ring
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:30:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090617173140.074593860@vyatta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090617173031.703636683@vyatta.com

[-- Attachment #1: sky2-txring.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 809 bytes --]

Reduce the size of the driver transmit ring to reduce latency
and allow qdisc to do better rate control.  Also make it
obvious what the minimum transmit ring allowed is and why.
