From a78cb84c62c427807d917c5aa8797740f00b0bbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 08:37:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: add scheduling point in recvmmsg/sendmmsg Applications often have to reduce number of datagrams they receive or send per system call to avoid starvation problems. Really the kernel should take care of this by using cond_resched(), so that applications can experiment bigger batch sizes. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
