From d5a9e24afb4ab38110ebb777588ea0bd0eacbd0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 16:22:11 -0800 Subject: net: Allow RX queue selection to seed TX queue hashing. The idea is that drivers which implement multiqueue RX pre-seed the SKB by recording the RX queue selected by the hardware. If such a seed is found on TX, we'll use that to select the outgoing TX queue. This helps get more consistent load balancing on router and firewall loads. Signed-off-by: David S.
