[PATCH] s390: lcs performance enhancements
[patch 1/2] s390: lcs performance enhancements From: Klaus Wacker <kdwacker@de.ibm.com> - When flood pinging (with large packet size) an LCS device, about 90 % of all packets are dropped by driver. - increased number of lcs IO buffers to 32. - use netif_stop_queue/netif_wake_queue in lcs_start_xmit routine - don't lock the whole xmit routine but just the piece of code where tx_buffer is touched.
