[PR 08] GRETH: performance improvements and one bugfix

Daniel Hellstrom daniel at gaisler.com
Thu Feb 2 14:46:29 UTC 2012


GRETH driver updated, 10-15% performance improvements for GBIT MAC,
unnecessary RX interrupts not taken which under heavy load saves approx.
1500 interrupts/s, one task removed saving about 5kb memory and 1 bug
solved.

BUG: RX interrupt was enabled before the RX-daemon was created which could
result in a faulty call to rtems_event_send.
