Give priority to the (software) time stamping thread in e1000e net driver

162 views Asked by At

I am new to linux programming. I have an intel NIC with e1000e driver. I am working on precise time stamping of packets being captured from a network. An interrupt is generated at every packet reception. Thus an interrupt handler registered by the driver queues the captured packets and timestamps it. My question is if want to use RT Linux how can I increase the priority of the time stamping thread. Is this possible?
