Message-Id: <1414685216-28907-5-git-send-email-ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:06:52 +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 4/8] net/mlx4_en: Add __GFP_COLD gfp flags in alloc_pages From: Ido Shamay <idos@...lanox.com> Needed in order to get cache cold pages (L3 flushed) for HW scatter. Otherwise memory may flush those entries when the packet comes from PCI, causing back pressure resulting in BW decrease.
