[PATCH net-next 0/6] Few improvements on mvneta

From: Gregory CLEMENT
Date: Fri Jul 06 2018 - 09:21:01 EST


Hello,

This series brings some improvements for the mvneta driver.

The main one is the last patch which improves the driver for system
with low memory.

Patch 2 and 4 also contribute to improve the performance, whereas the
3 other ones are more about cleanup.

The series had been tested on ARM32 (clearfog) and ARM64
(EspressoBin), with and without hardware buffer management.
