RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.

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 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.
