Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx4_en: Ignore budget on TX napi polling
It is recommended that TX work not count against the quota.
The cost of TX packet liberation is a minute percentage of what it costs to
process an RX frame. Furthermore, that SKB freeing makes memory available for
other paths in the stack.
Give the TX a larger budget and be more aggressive about cleaning up the Tx
descriptors this budget could be changed using ethtool:
$ ethtool -C eth1 tx-frames-irq <budget>
