From cdb08f8fd8642a6d661c920f565e85cf87a0c9be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 01:08:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sfc: Set default parallelism to per-core by default The previous default of per-package can be more CPU-efficient, but users generally seem to prefer per-core. It should also allow accelerated RFS to direct packets more precisely, if IRQ affinity is properly spread out.
