From 896a7cf8d846a9e86fb823be16f4f14ffeb7f074 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2009 20:24:59 +0000 Subject: pktgen: Fix multiqueue handling It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue. When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly. I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender. This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one. Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.
