From 2ba2506ca7ca62c56edaa334b0fe61eb5eab6ab0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:25:26 -0700 Subject: [NET]: Add preemption point in qdisc_run The qdisc_run loop is currently unbounded and runs entirely in a softirq. This is bad as it may create an unbounded softirq run. This patch fixes this by calling need_resched and breaking out if necessary. It also adds a break out if the jiffies value changes since that would indicate we've been transmitting for too long which starves other softirqs. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
