This is nice, there are some minor issues with the diff. * The xl_fill_rx_ring function body uses spaces instead of tabs. * Around -1125,11 +1138,11, you insert a few tabs unnecessarily. * ..and around -1195,12 +1182,14, within the while loop, spaces. * For the header patch, more spaces.
I am seeing some neat 'netstat -m' values when using this patch on an older P3 system, memory utilization goes down to 7/8%, reaching only 20% when transferring a file over SSH. :-) Without the patch it goes immediately to 25% after 'ifconfig xl0 address'. Actually seems to perform better even, although perhaps that's my mind playing tricks on me. Thanks, -Bryan.
