-Subject: [PATCH] pppoatm: Fix excessive queue bloat
-
-We discovered that PPPoATM has an excessively deep transmit queue. A
-queue the size of the default socket send buffer (wmem_default) is
-maintained between the PPP generic core and the ATM device.
-
-Fix it to queue a maximum of *two* packets. The one the ATM device is
-currently working on, and one more for the ATM driver to process
-immediately in its TX done interrupt handler. The PPP core is designed
-to feed packets to the channel with minimal latency, so that really
-ought to be enough to keep the ATM device busy.
-
-While we're at it, fix the fact that we were triggering the wakeup
-tasklet on *every* pppoatm_pop() call. The comment saying "this is
-inefficient, but doing it right is too hard" turns out to be overly
-pessimistic... I think :)
-
-On machines like the Traverse Geos, with a slow Geode CPU and two
-high-speed ADSL2+ interfaces, there were reports of extremely high CPU
-usage which could partly be attributed to the extra wakeups.
-
-(The wakeup handling could actually be made a whole lot easier if we
- stop checking sk->sk_sndbuf altogether. Given that we now only queue
- *two* packets ever, one wonders what the point is. As it is, you could
- already deadlock the thing by setting the sk_sndbuf to a value lower
- than the MTU of the device, and it'd just block for ever.)
