Subject: [PATCH net 6/7] qeth: do not turn on SG per default
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2016 14:39:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160915123927.86579-7-ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160915123927.86579-1-ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
According to recent performance measurements, turning on net_device
feature NETIF_F_SG only behaves well, but turning on feature
NETIF_F_GSO shows bad results. Since the kernel activates NETIF_F_GSO
automatically as soon as the driver configures feature NETIF_F_SG, qeth
should not activate feature NETIF_F_SG per default, until the qeth
problems with NETIF_F_GSO are solved.
