Ok, here it is.
The way i test is to point packets at a tun device. [One way i do it
is attach an ingress qdisc on lo; attach a u32 filter to match all;
on match redirect to the tun device].
The user space program reading sleeps for about a second every 20
packets or so. This forces things to accumulate in the drivers queue.
Backpressure builds up and the throttling effect is really nice to see
working.
I will try to post the e1000 patch tonight or tommorow morning.
cheers,
jamal
