The function call overheads shall show measurable differences on slow boxes. This change adds several function calls in driver's fast path(interrupt handler, packet statistics, checksum offloading checking and etc) and these functions would be called on every TX/RX packet. It would be great if there is a way to minimize function call overheads in fast path. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
