Subject: RFC/RFT: compat-wireless for 2.6.32.4 - MQ backport support
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:55:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100121025546.GB8069@bombadil.infradead.org> (raw)
The 2.6.32.4 kernel got added MQ support back. I've tried to backport
this and this is what I have so far:
http://bombadil.infradead.org/~mcgrof/tmp/compat-wireless-2.6.32.4-rc1.tar.bz2
Not sure about the select queue stuff yet though. Reports of uses of
ath9k (./scripts/driver-select ath9k) on 2.6.23..2.6.26 would be
appreciated.

--- 18-multiqueue.patch ---
The 2.6.23 kernel added multiqueue support. That release
relied on the on the notion of struct net_device_subqueue
attached to the netdevice struct as an array. The 2.6.27
renamed these to struct netdev_queue, amogst other changes.
For kernels 2.6.23..2.6.26 then we backport MQ support by
using the equivalent calls on the struct netdev_queue to
the struct net_device_subqueue.
For older kernels than 2.6.23 we can only stop all the
queues then.
