commit fd9afd3c upstream. According to Dave Miller "the networking stack has a hard requirement that all SKBs which are transmitted must have their completion signalled in a fininte amount of time. This is because, until the SKB is freed by the driver, it holds onto socket, netfilter, and other subsystem resources." In summary, this means that using TX IRQ throttling for the networking gadgets is, at least, complex and we should avoid it for the time being. Reported-by:
