timestamp - How to give priorities to Interrupt handlers in a normal linux kernel? -
i working on precise time stamping of packets being captured network. interrupt generated @ every packet reception. interrupt handler registered ethernet driver queues captured packets. have 2 questions who performs time stamping on each packet, interrupt handler or kernel processes packets queue. depending on task (interrupt handler or kernel, both being in kernel space) performs time stamping, how can increase priority in normal kernel (i.e. without using rt kernel)
