All,
Recently new features have been written to add multiqueue support and LRO.
However, none of the patches touch on a basic configuration scheme and most use
module parameters.
I propose several patches to add support to change these features for LRO and
multiqueue. Currently these patches are implemented in the most generic way
possible (largely copy/paste from current ethtool code) - and add 'ethtool -k
lro on|off' support that toggles the NETIF_F_LRO generic device flag, and a new
ethtool_queueparam struct to get/pass rx and tx queue count.
I'm contenplating adding a "usecs-irq" non-rx non-tx parameter for the intel
(1/10) gigabit adapters since our adapters share an interrupt moderation
counters for both rx and tx, but that will come later.
Cheers,
Auke
