You really should if you can. Preferably you should combine it with RX work in a shared NAPI context (1 TX queue + 1 RX queue per NAPI context, for example), doing the TX reclaim first in your ->poll() routine, before the RX processing, because this TX reclaim provides freshly freed up SKBs for RX work that generates responses (TCP ACKs, etc.) -- 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
