[PATCH 3/6] net: thunderx: Increase transmit queue length

[Sunil Kovvuri]

Hi Pavel Fedin,

Increasing descriptor ring size will lead to more memory allocation.
And what you are seeing is a memory alloc failure and doesn't seem to
be due to this driver change.
I mean it looks like the behavior will be same for other drivers as well.

Probably you might have to set "coherent_pool" size in bootargs to a
higher value.
Can you please check.

Thanks,
Sunil.
