    amd-xgbe: Performance enhancements · 9867e8fb
    Lendacky, Thomas authored
    This patch provides some general performance enhancements for the
    driver:
      - Modify the default coalescing settings (reduce usec, increase frames)
      - Change the AXI burst length to 256 bytes (default was 16 bytes which
        was smaller than a cache line)
      - Change the AXI cache settings to write-back/write-allocate which
        allocate cache entries for received packets during the DMA since the
        packet will be processed soon afterwards
      - Combine ioread/iowrite when disabling both the Tx and Rx interrupts
      - Change to processing the Tx/Rx channels in pairs
      - Only recycle the Rx descriptors when a threshold of dirty descriptors
        is reached
