Not with how the qdisc status protects it today: include/net/pkt_sched.h: static inline void qdisc_run(struct net_device *dev) { if (!netif_queue_stopped(dev) && !test_and_set_bit(__LINK_STATE_QDISC_RUNNING, &dev->state)) __qdisc_run(dev); } - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
