Hi,

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,
