-config S2IO_NAPI
- bool "Use Rx Polling (NAPI) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on S2IO && EXPERIMENTAL
- help
- NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
- when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
- still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
-
- If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
- deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
- then say Y here.
-
- If in doubt, say N.
