Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: napi: addition of napi_defer_hard_irqs This patch series augments gro_glush_timeout feature with napi_defer_hard_irqs As extensively described in first patch changelog, this can suppresss the chit-chat traffic between NIC and host to signal interrupts and re-arming them, since this can be an issue on high speed NIC with many queues. The last patch in this series converts mlx4 TX completion to napi_complete_done(), to enable this new mechanism. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
