Why do we need to remove the backlog_dev from the poll_list using (list_del function) after the frames are dequeued and the input_pkt_queue is empty in process_backlog() method, there is always a possibility that I can receive frames on the input_pkt_queue for that particular device. In that case I will have to again insert backlog_dev into the poll_list. This is an overhead .
Not exactly, else you ll starve other devices in the poll list.
