Enable programming of the interrupt coalescing registers and allow manual configuration of the coalescing time thresholds via ethtool. Packet thresholds have been fixed to predetermined values as there's no point in making them run-time configurable, also anticipating the dynamic interrupt moderation (DIM) algorithm which uses fixed packet thresholds as well. If the interface is up when the operation mode of traffic interrupt events is changed by the user (i.e. switching from default per-packet interrupts to coalesced interrupts), the traffic needs to be paused in the process. This patch also prepares the ground for introducing DIM on Rx. Signed-off-by: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
