From: Don Fry Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2007 02:13:09 +0000 (-0800) Subject: pcnet32: Fix PCnet32 performance bug on non-coherent architecutres X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b2cbbd8e0e8093fbf115ac2669482b016d781c78;p=mv-sheeva.git pcnet32: Fix PCnet32 performance bug on non-coherent architecutres The PCnet32 driver always passed the the size of the largest possible packet to the pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu and pci_dma_sync_single_for_device. This results in a fairly large "colateral damage" in the caches and makes the flush operation itself much slower. On a system with a 40MHz CPU this patch increases network bandwidth by about 12%.
