Subject: Re: [PATCH 12/23] e1000: Maybe stop TX if not enough free descriptors
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 12:50:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060919125019.316d3790@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <45104719.9080708@pobox.com>

My preference would be for drivers not to use LLTX (except loopback) and just
use the dev->xmit_lock via netif_tx_lock if possible.  Something like this for e1000.

Subject: [PATCH] e1000 no lltx

Get rid of lockless transmit for e1000. Use netif_tx_lock instead
of having to do locking in device. For NAPI this is trivial but
for the non-NAPI case it means scheduling a tasklet to do Tx
cleanup
