From fbc6daf19745b372c0d909e5d74ab02e42b70e51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amir Vadai Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2014 11:28:12 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx4_en: Ignore budget on TX napi polling It is recommended that TX work not count against the quota. The cost of TX packet liberation is a minute percentage of what it costs to process an RX frame. Furthermore, that SKB freeing makes memory available for other paths in the stack. Give the TX a larger budget and be more aggressive about cleaning up the Tx descriptors this budget could be changed using ethtool: $ ethtool -C eth1 tx-frames-irq Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai Signed-off-by: David S.
