Subject: [PATCH V2 net-next 1/1] hv_netvsc: Use the xmit_more skb flag to optimize signaling the host
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 16:29:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1430436555-32729-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com> (raw)
Based on the information given to this driver (via the xmit_more skb flag),
we can defer signaling the host if more packets are on the way. This will help
make the host more efficient since it can potentially process a larger batch of
packets. Implement this optimization.
