From eae792b722fef08dcf3aee88266ee7def9710757 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 03:03:33 -0700 Subject: 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.
