From 5cd2fe6d54c91aa76893b3034f5f3473063c0202 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve Wise Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2009 14:09:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] RDS/IW+IB: Set recv ring low water mark to 1/2 full. Currently the recv ring low water mark is 1/4 the depth. Performance measurements show that this limits iWARP throughput by flow controlling the rds-stress senders. Setting it to 1/2 seems to max the T3 performance. I tried even higher levels but that didn't help and it started to increase the rds thread cpu utilization.
