Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH 3/3] ixgbe: Fix RSC completion delay causing Rx interrupts to stop
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:26:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090730222559.26121.13496.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090730222501.26121.2952.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

From: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@intel.com>

When a user disables interrupt throttling with ethtool on 82599 devices,
the interrupt timer may not be re-enabled if hardware RSC is running.  The
RSC completions in hardware don't complete before the next ITR event tries
to fire, so the ITR timer never gets re-armed.  This patch increases the
amount of time between interrupts when throttling is disabled (rx-usecs =
0) when the hardware RSC deature is enabled.
