[PATCH] ucc_geth: Move freeing of TX packets to NAPI context

Anton Vorontsov avorontsov at ru.mvista.com
Sat Apr 18 08:03:48 EST 2009


From: Joakim Tjernlund <Joakim.Tjernlund at transmode.se>

This will make the system alot more responsive while ping flooding the
ucc_geth ethernet interface.

Also set NAPI weight to 64 as this is a common value.
