ibmveth: batch rx buffer replacement

santil · davem330 · commit c033a6d1390b · 2010-09-06T18:20:32.000-07:00
At the moment we try and replenish the receive ring on every rx interrupt.
We even have a pool-&gt;threshold but aren't using it.

To limit the maximum latency incurred when refilling, change the threshold
from 1/2 to 7/8 and reduce the largest rx pool from 768 buffers to 512 which
should be more than enough.
