Subject: e1000e: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc1~473^2~279
X-Git-Url: http://bbs.cooldavid.org/git/?p=net-next-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ed318d546a29d7a591dbe648fd1a2efe3be1180

e1000e: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses

In e1000_tx_map, precompute number of segements and bytecounts which
are derived from fields in skb; these are stored in buffer_info.  When
cleaning tx in e1000_clean_tx_irq use the values in the associated
buffer_info for statistics counting, this eliminates cache misses
on skb fields.
