Subject: [PATCH 7/7 net-next] tg3: Change default number of tx rings to 1.
Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 15:32:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348698769-760-7-git-send-email-mchan@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1348698769-760-6-git-send-email-mchan@broadcom.com>

Hardware tx scheduling can cause some starvation of a tx ring with small
packets if other tx rings have jumbo or TSO packets.  The default setting
of 1 TX ring gives the best overall performance in many common traffic
scenarios.  The user can change it using ethttol -L if desired.

Update version to 3.125.
