From 2652076507b662fc88ba16c27b59c7bdd9ccd956 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 19:26:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETPOLL]: pre-fill skb pool we could do one thing (see the patch below): i think it would be useful to fill up the netlogging skb queue straight at initialization time. Especially if netpoll is used for dumping alone, the system might not be in a situation to fill up the queue at the point of crash, so better be a bit more prepared and keep the pipeline filled.
