Subject: RFC: Removing busy-spin in pktgen.
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 17:02:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <453D582C.9020705@candelatech.com> (raw)
I'm planning to re-merge my long-lost pktgen branch with the kernel
tree's pktgen.
I believe the main difference is that my out-of-tree pktgen does not do the
busy-spin, but waits on a queue for the net-device to wake it's tx-queue
when over-driving a NIC.
To implement this, I added a hook in the netdev-wake-queue logic and let
pktgen register itself as interested....
Is there any interest in adding this sort of feature to the official
pktgen?
Thanks,
Ben
