Hi Rao,
But then i just saw something similiar to what i am looking for in the e1000g
driver, in particular the function 'e1000g_poll_ring' , the comment section
above this atleast seems to suggest that , what exactly is the semantics for
using this mac_ring_handle_t etc ?
Thanks
Som
That's just what we call the gld framework. This framework was reworked
in Nevada and polling was added to it.

Hi,
Is there the equivalent of NAPI (as in the linux kernel) in solaris
kernel( as of Solaris 10 U6 x86) that gives the option of the kernel stack
'polling' the hardware for rx completions based on a certain 'budget' that is
set by the NIC driver ?
No not in s10. Xbow that was putback in opensolaris build 105 updated the gldv3
to do polling. However NIC driver has no control on when that happens.
