Subject[PATCH net-next 2/2] net: core: increase the default size of GRO_NORMAL skb lists to flush
Date
Commit 323ebb61e32b ("net: use listified RX for handling GRO_NORMAL
skbs") have introduced a sysctl variable gro_normal_batch for defining
a limit for listified Rx of GRO_NORMAL skbs. The initial value of 8 is
purely arbitrary and has been chosen, I believe, as a minimal safe
default.
However, several tests show that it's rather suboptimal and doesn't
allow to take a full advantage of listified processing. The best and
the most balanced results have been achieved with a batches of 16 skbs
per flush.
So double the default value to give a yet another boost for Rx path.
It remains configurable via sysctl anyway, so may be fine-tuned for
each hardware.
