From 1ab25f86c418b04189c25117090d2b4dc60df417 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Shamay Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2014 16:26:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx4_en: Add __GFP_COLD gfp flags in alloc_pages Needed in order to get cache cold pages (L3 flushed) for HW scatter. Otherwise memory may flush those entries when the packet comes from PCI, causing back pressure resulting in BW decrease. Signed-off-by: Ido Shamay Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai Signed-off-by: David S.
