    Replace 2 jiffies with sysctl netdev_budget_usecs to enable softirq tuning · 7acf8a1e
    Matthew Whitehead authored Apr 19, 2017
    
    
    Constants used for tuning are generally a bad idea, especially as hardware
    changes over time. Replace the constant 2 jiffies with sysctl variable
    netdev_budget_usecs to enable sysadmins to tune the softirq processing.
    Also document the variable.
    
    For example, a very fast machine might tune this to 1000 microseconds,
    while my regression testing 486DX-25 needs it to be 4000 microseconds on
    a nearly idle network to prevent time_squeeze from being incremented.
    
    Version 2: changed jiffies to microseconds for predictable units.
