For the locking is makes a ton of sense. If you have sendmsg() calls going on N cpus, would you rather they: 1) All queue up to the single netdev->tx_lock or 2) All take local per-hw-queue locks to transmit the data they are sending? I thought this was obvious... guess not :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
