I intend to submit this patch very officially. Note that some Google servers use the same feature with good success on other NIC. This allowed us to remove interrupt coalescing, lowering RPC latencies, but keeping good throughput and cpu efficiency for bulk flows. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/commit/?id=1a2881728211f0915c0fa1364770b9c73a67a073 While IFB might need quite a lot of efforts, I don't know. You certainly can ask to John Fastabend if he has plans about it in the short term. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
