How does netpoll work with MSI/X, NAPI, and nics that setup multiple RSS style receive queues for a single port? >>From what I can tell, if you're doing something like netdump using netpoll for IO, then you might never process incoming packets that get posted to the rx queues not associated with the main netdevice structure because netpoll only calls the poll() function for the main netdev struct. Not the dummy netdevs setup for multiple rx queues. Is this the case or am I confused? Thanks, Steve.
