DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA) uses a Tx/Rx queue pair to communicate SMT frames with adapter's firmware. Any SMT frame received from the RMC via the Rx queue is queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for the firmware to process. Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue to supply the driver with SMT frames which are queued back to the Tx queue for the RMC to send to the ring. When a network tap is attached to an FDDI interface handled by `defza' any incoming SMT frames captured are queued to our usual processing of network data received, which in turn delivers them to any listening taps. However the outgoing SMT frames produced by the firmware bypass our network protocol stack and are therefore not delivered to taps. This in turn means that taps are missing a part of network traffic sent by the adapter, which may make it more difficult to track down network problems or do general traffic analysis. Call `dev_queue_xmit_nit' then in the SMT Tx path, having checked that a network tap is attached, with a newly-created `dev_nit_active' helper wrapping the usual condition used in the transmit path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
