Subject: [PATCH 21/70] net: Make the netdev watchdog aware of hardware
|
|
multiqueue devices
|
|
|
|
If the netdev declares the NETIF_F_HW_ACCEL_MQ (accelerated multiqueue)
|
|
capability, tell the watchdog to consider the per-netdev trans_start
|
|
field rather than any individual multiqueue's timestamp. That is
|
|
justified by the fact that queues only go in and out of congestion
|
|
in groups, not individually, as far as the net device is concerned.
|
|
