Name

alloc_netdev_mqs — allocate network device

Synopsis

struct net_device * alloc_netdev_mqs (int sizeof_priv,
 const char * name,
 unsigned char name_assign_type,
 void (*setup) (struct net_device *),
 unsigned int txqs,
 unsigned int rxqs);
 

Arguments

int sizeof_priv

size of private data to allocate space for

const char * name

device name format string

unsigned char name_assign_type

origin of device name

void (*)(struct net_device *) setup

callback to initialize device

unsigned int txqs

the number of TX subqueues to allocate

unsigned int rxqs

the number of RX subqueues to allocate

Description

Allocates a struct net_device with private data area for driver use and performs basic initialization. Also allocates subqueue structs for each queue on the device.
