Subject: s390/qeth: switch on SG by default for IQD devices
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc4
Git-commit: 04db741d0df02fdb9ea4ddca32615153407dcf7f
References: FATE#326350, LTC#169511, bsc#1113509
Summary: qeth: performance improvements
Description: This adds recent functional and performance improvements for the
qeth network driver.
Primarily this brings Scatter-Gather support for HiperSockets,
reduced CPU consumption in the L3 IPv4 transmit path for OSA,
improved Promiscuous Mode performance due to IFF_UNICAST_FLT,
support for Scatter-Gather on z/VM virtual NICs, and
support for delayed GRO flushing.
For sanity & stability reasons, this effectively constitutes a
backport of the qeth device driver from 4.19 mainline.

s390/qeth: switch on SG by default for IQD devices
Scatter-gather transmit brings a nice performance boost. Considering the
rather large MTU sizes at play, it's also totally the Right Thing To Do.
