hi
I used a prot_hook(added via dev_add_pack,protocol=ETH_P_ALL) to
process packets in kernel part.but the performance was bad

ksoftirqd used almost 100% cpu on my 1G nic(intel e1000,w/o RSS) XEON
5400 hypertown machine.

looks my  packet processing is too slow. but how to profile this?
i.e. how many CPU resources used in softirq and normal kernel protocol
stack(tcp/ip,etc)
and how many used in my packet processing function?

and any idea to improve it?how about moving the processing function to driver?

thanks
rui
