From c336acd3331dcc191a97dbc66a557d47741657c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Mason Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:28:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] NTB: memcpy lockup workaround The system will appear to lockup for long periods of time due to the NTB driver spending too much time in memcpy. Avoid this by reducing the number of packets that can be serviced on a given interrupt.
