Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	.The `networking` RHEL System Role now supports the `ethtool` settings With this enhancement, you can use the `networking` RHEL System Role to configure `ethtool` coalesce settings of a `NetworkManager` connection. When using the `interrupt coalescing` procedure, the system collects network packets and generates a single interrupt for multiple packets. As a result, this increases the amount of data sent to the kernel with one hardware interrupt, which reduces the interrupt load, and maximizes the throughput.	Story Points:	---

Comment 1 Gris Ge 2020-11-03 12:00:52 UTC

Hi Antonio,

Since you are working upstream for this issue, Can I assign this bug to you?

Comment 2 Antonio Cardace 2020-11-05 13:38:57 UTC

Hi Gris,

yes you can, but the feature is code-complete in the PR.

The CI is failing though and I cannot understand why, can you get someone who knows the CI to take a look at it?

Comment 3 Gris Ge 2020-11-05 15:30:51 UTC

Thanks.

The CI will be fixed by PR https://github.com/linux-system-roles/network/pull/298 and https://github.com/linux-system-roles/network/pull/302

Comment 4 Zhiqian Guan 2021-01-06 03:44:28 UTC

Hi Antonio,
how's the status of this? Since it's still in New, I suppose we may need to postpone the ITM?

Comment 6 Gris Ge 2021-01-08 02:44:52 UTC

Patch posted to upstream https://github.com/linux-system-roles/network/pull/234 but require changes after review.

Comment 7 Gris Ge 2021-01-08 02:53:28 UTC

The correct upstream link should be https://github.com/linux-system-roles/network/pull/322

Comment 8 Gris Ge 2021-01-09 03:03:22 UTC

Upstream merged the patch.
