Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 13/14] net: ethernet: cortina: Scale Gemini RX queues to system memory
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 17:24:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015-gemini-ethernet-fixes-3-v5-13-b5c9e2f7b8a3@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015-gemini-ethernet-fixes-3-v5-0-b5c9e2f7b8a3@kernel.org>

The default RX queues contain 512 descriptors per port. The shared
software free queue is sized at twice their combined capacity, requiring
4 MiB of page fragments even on Gemini systems with only 32 or 64 MiB of
RAM.

Choose smaller default RX queues on memory-constrained systems. Use 256
descriptors per port and a 2 MiB free queue with at most 64 MiB of RAM,
and 128 descriptors per port with a 1 MiB free queue with at most 32 MiB.
Keep the existing defaults on systems with more memory.

This preserves the existing relationship between RX descriptor capacity
and the free queue. Users can still override the defaults with ethtool.
