netdev architecture question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm planning a network driver that uses netdev queues. On the Rx side, I wish to
do some further processing of incoming skbs that have been dequeued from the
netdev queues.

Is it possible for the skb to remain on the queue after it has been received, so
that I don't have to put it into yet another queue/buffer to do the further
processing?

ie. I wish to process the received packet while it is still in the netdev queue.

Is this possible? Is it even a good idea?

Cheers,
Daniel
