Hi,
I didn't get any feedback on the following mail.
Also in case this patch wasn't noticed,
I think it's a no brainer to apply?

Subject: e100 NAPI performance

Hi,
I'm testing the latest e100 driver (3.0.0_dev13)
in a device here that is purely used to
capture traffic, and I'm testing with 64 byte packets.
I've turned on NAPI and can recv up to 120K packets/s
fine. (btw the driver without NAPI is
fine up to 101K packets/s). Above this though
the packet capture rate actually decreases
At 130K packets/s only 110K/s are received,
and 16K/s are rx fifo overruns.
I thought NAPI was supposed to keep a bound
on the worst case?
any advice on improving performance
like ethtool params or something?
CPU is 1.2GHz PIII
linux kernel is 2.4.20
