From: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@...el.com> Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:17:08 -0800 e1000e: drop lltx, remove unnecessary lock LLTX is deprecated and complicated, don't use it. It was observed by Don Ash <donash4@...il.com> that e1000e was acquiring this lock in the NAPI cleanup path. This is obviously a bug, as this is a leftover from when e1000 supported multiple tx queues and fake netdevs. another user reported this to us and tested routing with the 2.6.27 kernel and this patch and reported a 3.5 % improvement in packets forwarded in a multi-port test on 82571 parts.
