[PATCH 7/9] I/OAT: Only offload copies for TCP when there will be a context switch

From: Chris Leech
Date: Fri Mar 02 2007 - 21:41:04 EST


The performance wins come with having the DMA copy engine doing the copies
in parallel with the context switch. If there is enough data ready on the
socket at recv time just use a regular copy.
