Subject: NAPI and TX
Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 14:32:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m31vqzwzae.fsf@intrepid.localdomain> (raw)
Hi,
Could NAPI or something similar be used for TX in addition to RX?
Perhaps some driver already does that?
I'm specifically thinking of IXP4xx Ethernet (and possibly WAN), those
are 266-667 MHz ARM XScale CPUs and the interrupts handling just
transmitted sk_buffs are a pain. Could I delay those interrupts
somehow?
