e1000 driver 2.6.18 - how to waste processor cycles

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Is there a good reason the skb refill routine in e1000_alloc_rx_buffers needs to go and touch and remap skb memory on already loaded descriptors/ This seems extremely wasteful of processor cycles when refilling the ring buffer.

I note that the archtiecture has changed and is recycling buffers from the rx_irq routine and when the routine is called to refill the ring buffers, a lot of wasteful and needless calls for map_skb is occurring.
