Eric Dumazet c73e5807e4 tcp: tsq: no longer use limit_output_bytes for paced flows
FQ pacing guarantees that paced packets queued by one flow do not
add head-of-line blocking for other flows.

After TCP GSO conversion, increasing limit_output_bytes to 1 MB is safe,
since this maps to 16 skbs at most in qdisc or device queues.
(or slightly more if some drivers lower {gso_max_segs|size})

We still can queue at most 1 ms worth of traffic (this can be scaled
by wifi drivers if they need to)

Tested:

# ethtool -c eth0 | egrep "tx-usecs:|tx-frames:" # 40 Gbit mlx4 NIC
tx-usecs: 16
tx-frames: 16
# tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root fq
# for f in {1..10};do netperf -P0 -H lpaa24,6 -o THROUGHPUT;done

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
