About tasklets

[Zeeshan Ali <zeelists@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,
   I dont think i am realling getting the point of
tasklets. Concider this scenerio: An interrupt of mine
gets called on each packet received at an ethernet
deviece. As the processing that needs to be done per
packet is a bit heavy to be done in the interrupt
routine, i schedule a tasklet to run for each packet.
Here starts my problem. I need to tell the data that
would be passed to the tasklet routine in advance (at
the declaration) but i get the data (skbuffs) on
runtime. Am i missing something here or i did'nt
really understood LDD?
