Florian Fainelli says:

====================
net: broadcom: Adaptive interrupt coalescing

This patch series adds adaptive interrupt coalescing for the Gigabit Ethernet
drivers SYSTEMPORT and GENET.

This really helps lower the interrupt count and system load, as measured by
vmstat for a Gigabit TCP RX session:

SYSTEMPORT:

without:

 1  0      0 192188      0  25472    0    0     0     0 122100 38870  1 42 57  0  0
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.03 GBytes   884 Mbits/sec

with:

 1  0      0 192288      0  25468    0    0     0     0 58806 44401  0 100  0  0  0
[  5]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.04 GBytes   888 Mbits/sec

GENET:

without:

 1  0      0 1170404      0  25420    0    0     0     0 130785 63402  2 85 12  0  0
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.04 GBytes   888 Mbits/sec

with:

 1  0      0 1170560      0  25420    0    0     0     0 50610 48477  0 100  0  0  0
[  5]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.05 GBytes   899 Mbits/sec

Please look at the implementation and let me know if you see any problems, this
was largely inspired by bnxt_en.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
