Subject: pktgen and timers in 2.6
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2004 10:35:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <403B9981.5050103@candelatech.com> (raw)
The pktgen module often wants to sleep for a very short
amount of time (1ms, maybe even .01 ms) between sending packets....
Currently, it busy-spins to achieve this delay.
Would the real-time timers in 2.6 allow us to run
pktgen off of timers instead so that we do not need to
sleep or spin?
I have looked around, but I have not been able to find any
docs on the new real-time timer features. Is there any
documentation for how to use this in kernel modules?
Thanks,
Ben
