From 830a8a976ff2236ebc383e9a06f7872ed9243bfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shirley Ma Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2010 14:14:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: remove send queue Now we have a virtio detach API (in commit f9bfbebf34eab707b065116cdc9699d25ba4252a), we don't need to track xmit skbs in the virio_net driver, which improves transmission performance.
