AM5726: Does using mqprio qdisc as decribed in ti-cpsw.txt also affect local communication with sockets in domain AF_UNIX

Part Number: AM5726

Hello,

for communication over ethernet we set up network traffic prioritization as described in example 2 of  Documentation/networking/ti-cpsw.txt and replaced pfifo_fast with mqprio.

We also use sockets in domain AF_UNIX with type SOCK_DGRAM for local inter process communication. Is there also an effect of this setup for traffic prioritization on these sockets and 

should I maybe adapt the socket priorities for these sockets?

Regards,

    Stephan

 

  • Stephan,

    I discussed within the team here and we don't have a direct recommendation for prioritization of your AF_UNIX sockets. The recommendation is to netdev or kernel mailing lists. This would be not specific to the TI platform and should be independent of the prioritization outlined for mqprio.

    Best regards,

    Dave
