From 0a924578bc4a2823a95c151f56975c71f5c156bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:26:00 +0000 Subject: ixgbe: Fix RSC completion delay causing Rx interrupts to stop When a user disables interrupt throttling with ethtool on 82599 devices, the interrupt timer may not be re-enabled if hardware RSC is running. The RSC completions in hardware don't complete before the next ITR event tries to fire, so the ITR timer never gets re-armed. This patch increases the amount of time between interrupts when throttling is disabled (rx-usecs = 0) when the hardware RSC deature is enabled.
