Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2007 22:30:33 +0000 From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@...ux-mips.org> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Jeff Garzik <jeff@...zik.org>, Thomas Bogendoerfer <tsbogend@...ha.franken.de>, pcnet32@...izon.net, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [NET] Fix PCnet32 performance bug on non-coherent architecutres The PCnet32 driver always passed the the size of the largest possible packet to the pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu and pci_dma_sync_single_for_device. This results in a fairly large "colateral damage" in the caches and makes the flush operation itself much slower. On a system with a 40MHz CPU this patch increases network bandwidth by about 12%.
