From fcbeb976d7ce783fd58e63e61c196d9a8912b3be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2014 10:11:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: introduce netdevice gso_min_segs attribute Some TSO engines might have a too heavy setup cost, that impacts performance on hosts sending small bursts (2 MSS per packet). This patch adds a device gso_min_segs, allowing drivers to set a minimum segment size for TSO packets, according to the NIC performance. Tested on a mlx4 NIC, this allows to get a ~110% increase of throughput when sending 2 MSS per packet. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
