From 000725d56a196e72dc22328324c5ec5506265736 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Leech Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2007 09:57:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ioatdma: Push pending transactions to hardware more frequently Every 20 descriptors turns out to be to few append commands with newer/faster CPUs. Pushing every 4 still cuts down on MMIO writes to an acceptable level without letting the DMA engine run out of work.
