-Subject: tcp: tsq: restore minimal amount of queueing
-
-After commit c9eeec26e32e ("tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit"), several
-users reported throughput regressions, notably on mvneta and wifi
-adapters.
-
-802.11 AMPDU requires a fair amount of queueing to be effective.
-
-This patch partially reverts the change done in tcp_write_xmit()
-so that the minimal amount is sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes.
-
-It also remove the use of this sysctl while building skb stored
-in write queue, as TSO autosizing does the right thing anyway.
-
-Users with well behaving NICS and correct qdisc (like sch_fq),
-can then lower the default sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes value from
-128KB to 8KB.
-
-This new usage of sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes permits each driver
-authors to check how their driver performs when/if the value is set
-to a minimum of 4KB.
-
-Normally, line rate for a single TCP flow should be possible,
-but some drivers rely on timers to perform TX completion and
-too long TX completion delays prevent reaching full throughput.
-
-Fixes: c9eeec26e32e ("tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit")
