commit00ff801bb8upstream. This patch fixes a bug that the moderation config will not be applied when calling mlx4_en_reset_config. For example, when turning on rx timestamping, mlx4_en_reset_config() will be called, causing the NIC to forget previous moderation config. This fix is in phase with a previous fix: commit79c54b6bbf("net/mlx4_en: Fix TX moderation info loss after set_ringparam is called") Tested: Before this patch, on a host with NIC using mlx4, run netserver and stream TCP to the host at full utilization. $ sar -I SUM 1 INTR intr/s 14:03:56 sum 48758.00 After rx hwtstamp is enabled: $ sar -I SUM 1 14:10:38 sum 317771.00 We see the moderation is not working properly and issued 7x more interrupts. After the patch, and turned on rx hwtstamp, the rate of interrupts is as expected: $ sar -I SUM 1 14:52:11 sum 49332.00 Fixes:79c54b6bbf("net/mlx4_en: Fix TX moderation info loss after set_ringparam is called") Signed-off-by: Kevin(Yudong) Yang <yyd@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> CC: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
