pkt_sched: Add multiqueue scheduler support 2008-09-12T23:29:34+00:00 Alexander Duyck alexander.h.duyck@intel.com 2008-09-12T23:29:34+00:00 92651940ab00dbe64722e908f70d816713d677b7 This patch is intended to add a qdisc to support the new tx multiqueue architecture by providing a band for each hardware queue. By doing this it is possible to support a different qdisc per physical hardware queue. This qdisc uses the skb->queue_mapping to select which band to place the traffic onto. It then uses a round robin w/ a check to see if the subqueue is stopped to determine which band to dequeue the packet from.
