In contrast to switching rx irq coalescing off what fixed an issue, switching tx irq coalescing off is merely a latency optimization, therefore net-next. As part of this change: - Remove INTT_0 .. INTT_3 constants, they aren't used. - Remove comment in rtl_hw_start_8169(), we now have a detailed description by the code in rtl_set_coalesce(). - Due to switching irq coalescing off per default we don't need the initialization in rtl_hw_start_8168(). If ethtool is used to switch on coalescing then rtl_set_coalesce() will configure this register. For the sake of completeness: This patch just changes the default. Users still have the option to configure irq coalescing via ethtool. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.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.
