Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 5/5] ixgbe: use EIAM to automask MSI-X
Date: Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:33:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091203213353.9291.64013.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091203213221.9291.34218.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>

when disabling interrupts, driver was writing with IO, this is no
necessary because on ixgbe parts the hardware can "oneshot"
disable and clear the interrupt.  So on 82598/82599 use of EIAM
should avoid one posted write per interrupt when in MSI-X mode.
This should improve performance and seems to in my limited
testing, reduce CPU utilization VERY slightly.
