Thanks for your feedback, David. In current netvsc driver, for each packet received, it will call dump_rndis_message() to try to dump the rndis packet information by netdev_dbg(). In non-debug mode, dump_rndis_message() will not dump anything but it still initialize some local variables and process the switch logic in the function of dump_rndis_message(), which is unnecessary, especially in high network throughput situation. My change is to have a run-time config flag to control the execution of dump_rndis_message() and avoid above unnecessary cost in non-debug mode. In the default case, it will be non-debug mode, and rndis_filter_receive() will not call dump_rndis_message() which saves the above extra cost for each packet received. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
