From f29801030ac67bf98b7a65d3aea67b30769d4f7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kai-Heng Feng Date: Thu, 7 May 2020 22:21:07 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] e1000e: Disable TSO for buffer overrun workaround Commit b10effb92e27 ("e1000e: fix buffer overrun while the I219 is processing DMA transactions") imposes roughly 30% performance penalty. The commit log states that "Disabling TSO eliminates performance loss for TCP traffic without a noticeable impact on CPU performance", so let's disable TSO by default to regain the loss.
