From e9c6a586f5335938b11be0a2554af58a2860e4ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislaw Gruszka Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 18:51:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: Document /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_budget The NAPI poll parameter netdev_budget is not documented in kernel-docs. Since it may have a substantial effect on at least some network loads, it should be. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: David S.
