Hi all, The global variable netdev_max_backlog describes the maximum number of incoming packets that can be queued up for upper-layer processing.There is also a input queue for each cpu. What is the best way to know if the input queue or the netdev_max_backlog is full, in a driver interrupt routine? Will this work: queue = &softnet_data[smp_processor_id()]; q_avail = ((queue->input_pkt_queue.qlen <= netdev_max_backlog) && (!queue->throttle)) ? 1 : 0; The code is quite same as what is being done in netif_rx().
