Subject: interrupt controler question
Date: Fri, 17 May 2002 09:09:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020517070936.GA436@hookipa> (raw)

Using the old i8259 interrupts controller, my 1-way Linux2.4.16 box 
livelocks when receiving a high rate UDP flow (interrupt rate is so 
high that the NET_RX_SOFTIRQ never gets the chance to pull the 
packets off the backlog queue). However, the receive livelock 
phenomenom completely disappears when making use of the IO-APIC. 

Anyone has an explanation for this?

THX.
