From: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:26:00 -0700 > When a user disables interrupt throttling with ethtool on 82599 devices, > the interrupt timer may not be re-enabled if hardware RSC is running. The > RSC completions in hardware don't complete before the next ITR event tries > to fire, so the ITR timer never gets re-armed. This patch increases the > amount of time between interrupts when throttling is disabled (rx-usecs = > 0) when the hardware RSC deature is enabled. > > Signed-off-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@intel.com> > Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Applied. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
