cxgb3 - use immediate data for offload Tx
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Send small TX_DATA work requests as immediate data even when
there are fragments. this avoids doing multiple DMAs for
small fragmented packets.
The driver already implements this optimization for small
contiguous packets.
