Has anyone here used DEVICE_POLLING on an SMP box? I have one server which does recieve ~130kpps at times on an interface, but I cannot enable DEVICE_POLLING because hte system locks up under load from interrupts.
In this case I'm not sure which is better, disabling one of the CPU's, or trying to make DECIVE_POLLING work with SMP. I read Luigi's paper at info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/ which at the end implies that DEVICE_POLLING on an SMP box might not make sense - but right now for me it would make sense as both CPU's are locked: One tries to handle interrupts The other tries to manage the application I could try forcing DEVICE_POLLING to compile as is suggested in that URL but I wanted to see if anyone had tried this before. The interface is an FXP.
