Re: [E1000-devel] Bitrate throughput for Gigabit capped around 300Mbps

2009-04-20 Thread Frank Dauer
Hi Azeem! I have a PC with an onboard NVIDIA GbE NIC, an Intel 82540OEM NIC and an Intel 82545EM NIC in PCI slots. If it's in a PCI slot, could you please have a look in dmesg at the point where the e1000 driver module loads and could you check which kind of PCI interface the driver uses?

Hello Frank, Thank you for replying. Yes indeed, the Intel NIC is operating at 33MHz and 32 bit mode. From lspci -v I had mistakenly concluded that the NIC was operating at 66MHz. It turns out that the reason I had very high throughput earlier with the onboard NIC is that the onboard

[E1000-devel] TSO in UDP mode

2009-04-20 Thread Nir Drang
Hi All, we are trying to change the igb driver to support UDP segmentation in linux. the chipset we use is 82576. as it appears the stack supports it but the function igb_tso_adv assumes its a tcp message and set the context with TCP parameters. we want to change the code to support UDP. however

[E1000-devel] [PATCH] e100: do not go D3 in shutdown unless system is powering off

2009-04-20 Thread Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
After experimenting with kexec with the last merges after 2.6.29, I've had some problems when probing e100. It would not read the eeprom. After some bisects, I realized this has been like that since forever (at least 2.6.18). The problem is that shutdown is doing the same thing that suspend does

Hi , we have made some changes to the driver mainly in the function igb_tso_adv and some ugly patches to the stack . If you like we can share the code and results of what we got so far. one issue that is not clear is whether we need to re-edit the UDP length field as it arrives to the driver.

[E1000-devel] ixgbe - high tx_restart_queue

2009-04-20 Thread Benzi
Hi, I see this stat being increased meaning the tx ring is getting full and i want to avoid that. it might be that the cleanup of tx ring buffer is slow. In e1000 there is TxIntDelay that you recomment to lower its value for faster tx cleanup. IS there something similar for ixgbe? Thanks, Benzi

Flow control is disabled. Can you explain please why *decreasing* (and not increasing) the tx ring buffer will help avoiding tx_restart_queue? Regarding InterruptThrottleRate, do you mean that setting it to higher value may also prevent tx_restart_queue by faster tx ring cleanup? On Mon, Apr 20,
