Re: [PATCH v6 net-next 09/10] net: add a hardware buffer management helper API

I've not fully understood the hardware support part. But I do think this generalization is very interesting work, and would like to cooperate. If my use-case can fit into this, where my use-case is in the extreme 100Gbit/s area. There is some potential for performance improvements, if the API

[PATCH v6 net-next 09/10] net: add a hardware buffer management helper API

2016-03-14 Thread Gregory CLEMENT
This basic implementation allows to share code between driver using hardware buffer management. As the code is hardware agnostic, there is few helpers, most of the optimization brought by the an HW BM has to be done at driver level. Tested-by: Sebastian Careba
