I think this is a good idea. It lets pktgen dynamically make the clone/share decision dynamically and only impacts performance for those systems.
Just let pktgen refuse to use clone_skb command for these devices. At that point, an userland application is going to be faster and more flexible than pktgen. So when I said "remove pktgen" from distro it was not a joke. Maybe its time to admit pktgen has to be removed from kernel sources. $ wc net/core/pktgen.c 3788 10881 92771 net/core/pktgen.c Hmmm, 3788 lines, patched 180 times for a thing that only sends UDP frames...
