Add SW IRQ coalescing based on hrtimers for TX and RX data path which can be enabled by ethtool commands: - RX coalescing ethtool -C eth1 rx-usecs 50 - TX coalescing can be enabled per TX queue - by default enables coalesing for TX0 ethtool -C eth1 tx-usecs 50 - configure TX0 ethtool -Q eth0 queue_mask 1 --coalesce tx-usecs 100 - configure TX1 ethtool -Q eth0 queue_mask 2 --coalesce tx-usecs 100 - configure TX0 and TX1 ethtool -Q eth0 queue_mask 3 --coalesce tx-usecs 100 --coalesce tx-usecs 100 show configuration for TX0 and TX1: ethtool -Q eth0 queue_mask 3 --show-coalesce Comparing to gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs, this patch allows to enable IRQ coalesing for RX path separately.

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.
