2) What if I want to use frame preemption with another "transmission selection algorithm"? Say another one "time sensitive" - CBS? How is it going to be stacked?I am not seeing any (conceptual*) problems when plugging a cbs (for example) qdisc into one of taprio children. Or, are you talking about a more general problem?If I understand it correctly problem is not stacking taprio with cbs, but rather pre-emption with other qdiscs and allow configuring the parameters such as frag size. How do I use frame pre-emption as an independent feature and configure frag size? Ethool appears to be better from this point of view as Ivan has mentioned below.
Yeah, after all the discussion here, I think we came to the rough consensus that ethtool is the best place we have to enable/disable frame preemption and its configuration knobs. I just have a few comments to add to the series (sorry for the long delay). Cheers, -- Vinicius
