New Revision: 247085
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/247085
Log:
Add a new option to limit the maximum size of aggregates.
The default is to limit them to what the hardware is capable of.
Add sysctl twiddles for both the non-RTS and RTS protected aggregate
generation.
Whilst here, add some comments about stuff that I've discovered during
my exploration of the TX aggregate / delimiter setup path from the
reference driver.
