After a second look at the netmap_open code, I believe the
NETMAP_HW_RING is the choice.
My next trouble to to receive packets.
The program spins off 8 threads, each thread try to bind to one of the
queue on an igb card. (queue 0-7).
depending on how I call the netmap_open().
if I call
netmap_open(&me, id /*| NETMAP_HW_RING */, 1);
The program will able to receive packets, but of course each thread
receives packet from all 8 queues.
If I call
netmap_open(&me, id | NETMAP_HW_RING , 1)
none of the thread was able to receive packet.
come across the following line of code in nm_util.c
} else if (ringid & NETMAP_HW_RING) {
D("XXX check multiple threads");
What does it suggest? any special requirement for multi-threaded program?

Ming

Hi,
What is the difference between NETMAP_SW_RING and NETMAP_HW_RING.
When using netmap_open() in the example code to create a netmap fdesc,
one of these two need to be ORed to the queue ID, in order to bind
only one RX queue.
netmap code updated from FreeBSD RELENG_9.

Ming
