Hi all,
This is a Network card driver newbie question.
I am trying to learn how to use the NET_BH for developing a network card driver.
Under what circumstance(s) do you call mark_bh(NET_BH).
Any response would be appreciated.
Take care!

When you want the network stack to wake up and do stuff, so in Linux 2.2
when you want it to call your hard_start_xmit with new buffers
