Subject: Info on ScatterGather
Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 11:24:16 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CB35231B9D59D311B18600508B0EDF2F0197A319@caexmta9.amd.com> (raw)

Hi All,

 I believe in the 2.4.x kernel LAN drivers can ask for scattered buffers on transmit. Is that what the NETIF_F_SG parm talks about? 

 Also, on the receive side, is buffer chaining possible? ie, if the device gives us 2 buffers (for a single frame), can the driver send those 2 buffers directly to the OS or should the driver combine it into a single buffer before calling netif_rx ()

thanx
HARISH V
