From: Jeff Kirsher Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:17:08 -0800 e1000e: drop lltx, remove unnecessary lock LLTX is deprecated and complicated, don't use it. It was observed by Don Ash that e1000e was acquiring this lock in the NAPI cleanup path. This is obviously a bug, as this is a leftover from when e1000 supported multiple tx queues and fake netdevs. another user reported this to us and tested routing with the 2.6.27 kernel and this patch and reported a 3.5 % improvement in packets forwarded in a multi-port test on 82571 parts.
