X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~969^2~74 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eae792b722fef08dcf3aee88266ee7def9710757;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git netdev: Add netdev->select_queue() method. Devices or device layers can set this to control the queue selection performed by dev_pick_tx(). This function runs under RCU protection, which allows overriding functions to have some way of synchronizing with things like dynamic ->real_num_tx_queues adjustments. This makes the spinlock prefetch in dev_queue_xmit() a little bit less effective, but that's the price right now for correctness. Signed-off-by: David S.
