Merge branch 'gianfar_rx_sg'
Claudiu Manoil says:
====================
gianfar: Add Rx S/G
This patch-set introduces scatter/gather support
on the Rx side, addressing Rx path performance
issues in the driver.
Thanks.
As an example, two boards connected back-to-back
were used to measure the throughput, running the
same kernel 4.1, before and after applying these
patches.
The netperf UDP_STREAM results below show that the
bottleneck lies on the Rx side BEFORE applying the
patches, and that the Rx throughput is even lower
with a larger MTU. AFTER applying the patches the
Rx bottleneck is gone (Rx throughput matches the
Tx one) and the RX throughput is not influenced by
MTU size any longer (as expected).
BEFORE:
1) MTU 1500 (default)
