During some performance diagnostics I stumbled on this slightly wasteful
code in pcnet_cs.c which I made the patch included at the bottom for (two
minor comment fixes included).
Improvement:
instead of *always* calculating
lea 0x2c0(%edx),%ebx
and then additionally doing the
mov %edx,0xc0(%ebx)
addition *if we need it*,
we now do the *whole* calculation of
mov %edx,0x380(%ebx)
*only* if we need it.
This even manages to save us a whole 16-byte alignment buffer loss
in this compilation case.
Result: slightly improves IRQ handler performance in both shared and
non-shared IRQ case, which should make my rusty P3/700 a slight bit happier.
Thank you for your support,
Andreas Mohr
