Subject: [PATCH update] firewire: net: throttle TX queue before running out of
tlabels
This prevents firewire-net from submitting write requests in fast
succession until failure due to all 64 transaction labels used up for
unfinished split transactions. The netif_stop/wake_queue API is used
for this purpose.
Without this stop/wake mechanism, datagrams were simply lost whenever
the tlabel pool was exhausted. Plus, tlabel exhaustion by firewire-net
also prevented other unrelated outbound transactions to be initiated.
The high watermark is set to considerably less than 64 (I chose 8)
because peers which run current Linux firewire-ohci are still easily
saturated by this (i.e. some datagrams are dropped with ack-busy-*
events), depending on the hardware at transmitter and receiver side.
I did not see changes to resulting throughput that were discernible from
the usual measuring noise. To do: Revisit the choice of queue depth
once firewire-ohci's AR DMA was improved.
I wonder what a good net_device.tx_queue_len value is. I just set it
to the same value as the chosen watermark for now.

Update: Stricter version with an early NETDEV_TX_BUSY return if the
.ndo_start_xmit method is called while the driver is stopping (or has
stopped) the transmit queue. Thus there can really be never more than
FWNET_MAX_QUEUED_DATAGRAMS of pending outbound 1394 transactions.
