Message-Id: <1414685216-28907-4-git-send-email-ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:06:51 +0200 From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@...lanox.com> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Matan Barak <matanb@...lanox.com>, Amir Vadai <amirv@...lanox.com>, Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@...lanox.com>, Shani Michaeli <shanim@...lanox.com>, Ido Shamay <idos@...lanox.com> Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/8] net/mlx4_en: Remove RX buffers alignment to IP_ALIGN From: Ido Shamay <idos@...lanox.com> When IP_ALIGN has a non zero value, hardware will write to a non aligned address. The only reader from this address is when copying the header from the first frag into the linear buffer (further access to the IP address will be from the linear buffer, in which the headers are aligned). Since the penalty of non align access by the hardware is greater than the software memcpy, changing the frag_align to always be 0.
