Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 23:40:27 +0400 From: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@...mvista.com> To: jgarzik@...ox.com Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, shemminger@...ux-foundation.org, mhuth@...sta.com, kgdb-bugreport@...ts.sourceforge.net Subject: [PATCH] netpoll: trapping fix/cleanup CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP causes the TX queue controls to be completely bypassed in the netpoll's "trapped" mode which easily causes overflows in the drivers with short TX queues (most notably, in 8139too with its 4-deep queue). Make this option more sensible by only bypassing TX softirq wakeup and remove CONFIG_NETPOLL_RX option completely since there is *no* code depending on it.
