The lrxq thresh value tells hardware to immediately interrupt when there are fewer than N*64 packets left in the ring. Counter intuitively, empirical testing has shown that decreasing this value from 2 to 1, and thus changing from an immediate interrupt at fewer than 128 descriptors down to 64 descriptors causes a small increase in the maximum total packets per second we can receive. This increase occurs even when we're polling with interrupts masked, as the hardware must still handle interrupts internally even if we've disabled them in software. Also reduce the value for any VFs we allocate.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
