From 94d9de3cf7b7902253e65d7aef30f2db051c1ac6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Schmidt Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:04:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: save RAM in kdump kernel by disabling TPA When running in a kdump kernel, disable TPA. This saves memory, which tends to be scarce in kdump. TPA, being a receive acceleration, is unlikely to be useful for kdump, whose purpose is to send the memory image out. This saves additional 5 MB in the kdump environment. Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt Signed-off-by: David S.
