Hi.
I am just wondering why options DEVICE_POLLING is not possible with
a SMP-Kernel.
Well, i know that there is a workaround with
/usr/src/sys/kern/kern_poll.c which works perfectly building a SMP
Kernel with polling.
My question is, are there any known problems with SMP+polling or why is
it
There is an assumption that it would be faster to have 2 cpus process
the interupts than to use polling which can run on one processor at a
time. On my system, it appears to be faster to use polling. I have a
dual xeon 2.0 ghz.
