Hi James,
I like the idea of staying in poll longer.
My comments are similar to what Jamal and Stephen have already said.
A tunable (via sysfs) would be nice.
A timer might be preferred to jiffy polling. Jiffy polling will not increase
latency the way a timer would. However, jiffy polling will

slots in the tx ring. Previously, the driver would wake up the transmit queue
if there was just a single slot available. This should result in better
hysteresis.
Attached are my test results and a new patch.

Hi Daniele,
Attached is a patch for converting the sis900 driver to NAPI. Please take a
look at let me know what you think. I'm not 100% sure if I'm handling the
rotting packet issue correctly or that I have the locking right in tx_timeout.
These might be areas to look at closely.
I didn't see m
. So I'm thinking that maybe the
driver was written to use this interrupt instead of TxOK for this reason.
Really just my speculation.
Anyway, if I rewrite the driver to use TxOK instead of TxIdle, pktgen
works fine. I'm attaching the patch.

Hi,
I am having some trouble using pktgen with certain NICs. When running
pktgen on some NICs, the test stalls because the worker thread is
waiting for the driver to free the last skb. If a send a few pings out
the interface, the worker thread will eventually unblock.
Below is the snippet of code
