linux.git/net/core, branch v2.6.12 Linux kernel source tree [NET]: Fix sysctl net.core.dev_weight 2005-06-08T21:56:01+00:00 Stephen Hemminger shemminger@osdl.org 2005-06-08T21:56:01+00:00 e3876605450979fe52a1a03e7eb78a89bf59e76a Changing the sysctl net.core.dev_weight has no effect because the weight of the backlog devices is set during initialization and never changed. This patch propagates any changes to the global value affected by sysctl to the per-cpu devices. It is done every time the packet handler function is run.
