Driver may impose additional constraints and may not suspport all attributes. +``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_CQE_SIZE`` specifies the completion queue event size. +Completion queue events(CQE) are the events posted by NIC to indicate the +completion status of a packet when the packet is sent(like send success or +error) or received(like pointers to packet fragments). The CQE size parameter +enables to modify the CQE size other than default size if NIC supports it. +A bigger CQE can have more receive buffer pointers inturn NIC can transfer +a bigger frame from wire. Based on the NIC hardware, the overall completion +queue size can be adjusted in the driver if CQE size is modified. + CHANNELS_GET ============ |
