Subject: [PATCH net-next v7 3/9] tun/tap: add ptr_ring consume helper with netdev queue wakeup
Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026 22:04:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260107210448.37851-4-simon.schippers@tu-dortmund.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260107210448.37851-1-simon.schippers@tu-dortmund.de>
Introduce {tun,tap}_ring_consume() helpers that wrap __ptr_ring_consume()
and wake the corresponding netdev subqueue when consuming an entry frees
space in the underlying ptr_ring.
Stopping of the netdev queue when the ptr_ring is full will be introduced
in an upcoming commit.
