So perfromance-wise the "Non-deterministic" behaviour is still an issue if we want to use linux for "Core Router " applications unless Real-time extensions are used. If softirqd actually runs, things are severly out of whack on your computer. Softirq's should always normally run straight out of hw interrupt trap return. I'm going to stop posting to these lists, it's like talking to a brick wall half the time. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
