    [PATCH] e100: re-enable microcode with more useful defaults · 2afecc04
    Jesse Brandeburg 提交于
    For the four versions of hardware that we (currently) support microcode
    download on, the default configuration of our receive interrupt mitigation
    microcode was too aggressive, and caused unnecessary delays when pinging,
    and low(er) throughput on single connection latency sensitive performance
    tests.
    
    This code adds microcode support, and sets the defaults to more reasonable
    settings. It also explains the functionality in the code in more detail.
    Compile and load tested, shows expected behavior for slight delay of ping
    packets (1-2ms) when ucode is loaded, and decent interrupt moderation for
    small packets, while maintaining good throughput.
