[ Upstream commit 8ac8a01092b2added0749ef937037bf1912e13e3 ] Since commit 605ad7f184b60cfaacbc038aa6c55ee68dee3c89 "tcp: refine TSO autosizing", outbound throughput is dramatically reduced for some connections, as sis900 is doing TX completion within idle states only. Make TX completion happen after every transmitted packet.

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.
