Subject: [PATCH net 0/3] Fix dropping of oversize preemptible frames with felix DSA driver

It has been reported that preemptible traffic doesn't completely behave
as expected. Namely, large packets should be able to be squeezed
(through fragmentation) through taprio time slots smaller than the
transmission time of the full frame. That does not happen due to logic
in the driver (for oversize frame dropping with taprio) that was not
updated in order for this use case to work.

I am not sure whether it qualifies as "net" material, because some
structural changes are involved, and it is a "never worked" scenario.
OTOH, this is a complaint coming from users for a v6.4 kernel.
It's up to maintainers to decide whether this series can be considered;
I've submitted it as non-RFC in the optimistic case that it will be :)

Demo script illustrating the issue below.

#!/bin/bash

add_taprio()
{
	local ifname=$1

	echo "Creating root taprio"
	tc qdisc replace dev $ifname handle 8001: parent root stab overhead 24 taprio \
		num_tc 8 \
		map 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \
		queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 1@4 1@5 1@6 1@7 \
		base-time 0 \
		sched-entry S 01 1216 \
		sched-entry S fe 12368 \
		fp P E E E E E E E \
		flags 0x2
}

remove_taprio()
{
	local ifname=$1

	echo "Removing taprio"
	tc qdisc del dev $ifname root
}
