I am curious about these two calls below(netcp_process_one_rx_packet
and netcp_tx_submit_skb):
On tx you seem to be broadcasting to all "sub-modules" and on receive
you seem to be invoking from all as well.
I couldnt find the code for any of the sub-modules but i suspect
things like switching/bridging or ipsec etc could be sub-modules.
If yes, have you thought about integrating these features into
Linux proper instead?
