[PATCH net-next 5/5] netvsc: allow smaller send/recv buffer size

Stephen Hemminger stephen at networkplumber.org
Tue Jul 25 20:04:22 UTC 2017


The default value of send and receive buffer area for host DMA
is much larger than it needs to be. Experimentation shows that
4M receive and 1M send is sufficient.

Make the size a module parameter so that it can be adjusted
as needed for testing or special needs.
