device is still operational. netdev->queue_lock is still used when the device
comes online or when it's completely shut down (unregister_netdev(), etc.).
-Finally, the base driver should indicate that it is a multiqueue device. The
-feature flag NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE should be added to the netdev->features
-bitmap on device initialization. Below is an example from e1000:
-
-#ifdef CONFIG_E1000_MQ
- if ( (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_82571) ||
- (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_82572) ||
- (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_80003es2lan))
- netdev->features |= NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE;
-#endif
