Series | ibmvnic: Implement driver-defined queue limits | expand |
From: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@linux.ibm.com> Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2018 18:38:23 -0500 > In this patch series, update the ibmvnic driver to use driver-defined > queue limits instead of limits imposed by the Virtual I/O server > management partition. For some deviced, initial max queue size and > amount limits, despite their definition, can actually be exceeded if > the client driver requests it. With this in mind, define a private > ethtool flag that toggles the use of driver-defined limits. These > limits are currently more than what supported hardware will likely > allow, so the driver will attempt to get as close as possible to > the user request but may not fully succeed.
