Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/bnx2x: Fix transmit queue free threshold
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2017 00:26:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D4D36BB2.10914C%Harish.Patil@cavium.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1486757526-12028-1-git-send-email-ciwillia@brocade.com>

>
>The default tx_free_thresh is potentially larger than the allocated queue
>which will result in TX queue cleanup never happening.  To fix this,
>lower the default free threshold and ensure that the free threshold is
>never greater than the maximum outstanding transmit buffers.
