From 60cba200f11b6f90f35634c5cd608773ae3721b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Brandeburg Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 09:25:23 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] e1000: fix NAPI performance on 4-port adapters This fix attempts to solve a customer (IBM) reported issue with NAPI enabled e1000 having bad performance when transmitting simultaneously on four ports. The issue comes down to an interaction between NAPI, hardware interrupt balancing, and the driver rescheduling poll on the same processor. Try to fix by allowing the driver to re-enable interrupts sooner instead of polling one more time, when there was recently all the work completed in cleanup.
