From e3876605450979fe52a1a03e7eb78a89bf59e76a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2005 14:56:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Fix sysctl net.core.dev_weight 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.
