Subject: [PATCH 2.6.13] pcnet32: set min ring size to 4
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 15:09:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4325298D.1010600@tw.ibm.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 414 bytes --]
Hi,
Don Fry reminded me that the pcnet32_loopback_test() asssumes the ring
size is no less than 4. The minimum ring size was changed to 4 in
pcnet32_set_ringparam() to allow the loopback test to work unchanged.
Changelog:
- Set minimum ring size to 4 to allow loopback test to work unchanged
- Moved variable init_block to first field in struct pcnet32_private
Signed-off-by: Hubert WS Lin <wslin@tw.ibm.com>
