Stephen Hemminger	7ce54e3f42	[BRIDGE]: receive path optimization This improves the bridge local receive path by avoiding going through another softirq. The bridge receive path is already being called from a netif_receive_skb() there is no point in going through another receiveq round trip. Recursion is limited because bridge can never be a port of a bridge so handle_bridge() always returns. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>	2005-05-29 14:16:48 -07:00

[BRIDGE]: receive path optimization

This improves the bridge local receive path by avoiding going
through another softirq.  The bridge receive path is already being called
from a netif_receive_skb() there is no point in going through another
receiveq round trip.

Recursion is limited because bridge can never be a port of a bridge
so handle_bridge() always returns.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
