    Subject[PATCH net-next v1 0/6] lan743x speed boost
    Date
    From: Sven Van Asbroeck <thesven73@gmail.com>

    The first patch of this series boosts the chip's rx performance by up to 3x
    on cpus such as ARM. However it introduces a breaking change: the mtu
    can no longer be changed while the network interface is up.

    To get around this efficiently, the second patch adds driver support for
    multi-buffer frames. This will allow us to change the mtu while the device
    is up, without having to re-allocate all ring buffers.

    Since this is an important change to the driver's rx logic, I have attempted
    to very carefully test this. Test descriptions are included with each
    commit message.

    I invite all interested users of the lan743x to test out these changes, either
    by testing them out "in the real world", or by repeating my artificial tests.

    Suggestions for better tests are very welcome.
