Subject: [PATCH net-next] vmxnet3: increase default rx ring sizes
Date:   Tue, 28 Nov 2017 13:12:04 -0800

Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

We often notice rx packet drops due to small default rx ring sizes and
solve the problem by increasing the ring sizes. This patch increases the
default rx ring sizes thereby reducing the probability of rx packet
drops out of the box.
