From eb086ec59667df5b07d58176e21a5f523ead1d66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ed Cashin Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 17:16:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] aoe: use a kernel thread for transmissions The dev_queue_xmit function needs to have interrupts enabled, so the most simple way to get the locking right but still fulfill that requirement is to use a process that can call dev_queue_xmit serially over queued transmissions.
