====================
net: bql: better deal with GSO
While BQL bulk dequeue works well for TSO packets, it is
not very efficient as soon as GSO is involved.
On a GSO only workload (UDP or TCP), this patch series
can save about 8 % of cpu cycles on a 40Gbit mlx4 NIC,
by keeping optimal batching, and avoiding expensive
doorbells, qdisc requeues and reschedules.
This patch series :
- Add __netdev_tx_sent_queue() so that drivers
can implement efficient BQL and xmit_more support.
- Implement a work around in dev_hard_start_xmit()
for drivers not using __netdev_tx_sent_queue()
- changes mlx4 to use __netdev_tx_sent_queue()
v2: Tariq and Willem feedback addressed.
added __netdev_tx_sent_queue() (Willem suggestion)

README
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.
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.
