    bnx2x: Configurable pause scheme · a18f5128
    Eilon Greenstein authored
    When a given ring is running out of space, the FW can send pause towards the
    network. When working with multi-queues, when one queue is getting out of space
    it can block all other queues. The preferred scheme is to send pause frames only
    when running out of the shared internal chip buffers and if a given queue cannot
    place a packet on the host, it will drop it. Since some users might want to work
    in drop-less mode, allowing changing the behavior as a module parameter.
