Subject: [rfc net-next v6 3/3] virtio-net: change the number of queues through ethtool
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:03:23 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1351591403-23065-4-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1351591403-23065-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com>
This patch implement the {set|get}_channels method of ethool to allow user to
change the number of queues dymaically when the device is running. This would
let the user to tune the device for specific applications.
