From 58fd62f525e1182fbb2f7566aecb4545720d9aad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Nunley Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 01:05:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] igb: change descriptor control thresholds This change simplifies the code by setting RX_PTHRESH to 8 for all devices, as it was unlikely that there was any advantage to set it at 16 for earlier cards. Additionally TX_WTHRESH is set to 1 for the 82576 NIC to improve performance by enabling a minimal amount of write combining when writing back descriptors.
