[PATCH V1 net-next 4/5] net/mlx4_en: Add __GFP_COLD gfp flags in alloc_pages
From: Or Gerlitz <hidden>
Date: 2014-11-02 14:26:27
Subsystem:
mellanox ethernet driver (mlx4_en), mellanox mlx4 core vpi driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers:
Tariq Toukan, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds
From: Ido Shamay <redacted> Needed in order to get cache cold pages (L3 flushed) for HW scatter. Otherwise memory may flush those entries when the packet comes from PCI, causing back pressure resulting in BW decrease.
