[PATCH 2/2] ehea: Receive SKB Aggregation

Thomas Klein osstklei at de.ibm.com
Thu May 31 21:54:56 EST 2007


After there were no technical concerns about this patch I'm resending it with
all whitespace issues fixed which were mentioned by Stephen Rothwell.

This patch enables the receive side processing to aggregate TCP packets within
the HEA device driver. It analyses the packets already received after an
interrupt arrived and forwards these as chains of SKBs for the same TCP
connection with modified header field. We have seen a lower CPU load and
improved throughput for small numbers of parallel TCP connections.

We added a disabled module parameter to prevent disruption of normal driver
operation.
We currently consider this as "experimental" until further review and tests
have been passed.
