Hi Pier<br>
<br>
If your realtime tasks runs as in a usermode thread and access the
ethernet device through the generic device, then you have to make
sure that the priorities of the IRQ threads are higher than the
priority of the realtime thread.<br>
<br>
Show the pids of the IRQ threads of a eth device<br>
>$ NETDEVNAME=eth1<br>
>$ ps -A | awk "/irq\/[0-9]+-${NETDEVNAME}/ { print \$1 }" |
xargs --no-run-if-empty<br>
1512 1513 1514<br>
Show the realtime priority of a process<br>
>$ chrt -p 1512<br>
pid 1512's current scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO<br>
pid 1512's current scheduling priority: 80<br>
<br>
The priority must be higher than the priority of your realtime
task thread.<br>
<br>
In addition, disable interrupt throttling on your eth device.<br>
<br>
>$ ethtool --coalesce $NETDEVNAME adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx
off rx-usecs 0 rx-frames 0 rx-usecs-irq 0 rx-frames-irq 0 tx-usecs
0 tx-frames 0 tx-usecs-irq 0 tx-frames-irq 0 pkt-rate-low 0
pkt-rate-high 0<br>

Dear Martin<br>
<br>
I have tried this :<br>
<br>
>$ NETDEVNAME=eth1<br>
>$ ps -A | awk "/irq\/[0-9]+-${NETDEVNAME}/ { print \$1 }" |
xargs --no-run-if-empty<br>
<br>
But the answer in empty.... nothing...<br>
<br>
The Operating system is a Ubuntu 12.04<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
<br>
Pier<br>
