There will be some shared code on drivers of same media on the netif_stop/wake strategy perhaps, but not related to queue management. > 3. it's not 100% accurate. there has to be some overhead, more or less > depends on the queue wakeup strategy the driver selected. Why is it not accurate for wireless? I can see the corner case Patrick mentioned in wired ethernet but then wired ethernet doesnt have other events such as management frames (actually DCE does) to help. cheers, jamal - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
