I am trying not to read netdev right now... and failing, obviously.

the relevant thread was "am335x: cpsw: phy ignores max-speed setting"

and the initial very small BQL enablement patch was here:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/407640/

(it needed a saner treatment of a failure to dma something in
cpsw_tx_packet_submit  - the patch as is has also been part of nelsons
trees for the beaglebone for a while)

But it was rightly pointed out later in the thread that this change

+#define CPSW_POLL_WEIGHT 16

made for the biggest part of the improvement, and someone else on the
thread proposed handling that more dynamically for 100mbit phys with
another patch (that I can't find at the moment)

... but the root cause of the excessive latency in this driver was the
single tx/rx dma queue, which you are addressing  in your patch set.
So if you glop on more of the above, mo better, perhaps you will win
bigger.

I will try to slice out some time to boot up a beagle on net-next next week.
