Hi,
I thought I'd send a query here before going to netdev. Two pieces of
hardware now have Linux driver support for multiple hardware queues:
Intel's e1000 (two queues from what I can see in the code) and Atheros's
5212 and up, in support of 802.11e and WME (four hardware queues). In
the WiFi case, the queues actually have significance in access to the
shared medium.
So my question is, what's it going to take to get dev->hard_start_xmit()
to hook up tc queues directly to hardware/driver queues? Right now, it
seems no matter how elaborate a tc setup you have, everything funnels
through one queue, then the hardware driver can try to sort it out.
