Hi All,
I have few questions about EQL driver
*) Why the tx_queue_len is set as 5?. For example if we bond 3 lines
and each has 1000 as tx_queue_len, will the bonding line(eql)
tx_queue_len be sum of these three tx_queue_len?. In this case, will the
bonding line(eql)tx_queue_len be 3000?
*)Question: Why list_add is used instead of list_add_tail?. For queue
implementation, list_add_tail would be required. Why do we implement of
slave queue in the way of stack implementation?.
File: linux/drivers/net/eql.c
Function: __eql_insert_slave(slave_queue_t *queue, slave_t *slave)
Code:
/* queue->lock must be held */
static int __eql_insert_slave(slave_queue_t *queue, slave_t *slave)
{
if (!eql_is_full(queue)) {
slave_t *duplicate_slave = NULL;
duplicate_slave = __eql_find_slave_dev(queue, slave->dev);
if (duplicate_slave != 0)
eql_kill_one_slave(queue, duplicate_slave);
list_add(&slave->list, &queue->all_slaves); // Why
list_add has been
used instead of list_add_tail?. I hope queue->all_slaves is queue
implementation.
*) Is it possible to improve the load balancing performance using
multiprocessor?. For example,if a server has two processors and N n/w
interfaces, is it possible to assign one processor for N/2 n/w
interface's tx and rx handling and other for N/2 n/w interface's tx/rx
handling
Thanks
Jeba
