[ Upstream commit fe60faa506 ]
Before calling dev_hard_start_xmit(), upper layers tried
to cook optimal skb list based on BQL budget.
Problem is that GSO packets can end up comsuming more than
the BQL budget.
Breaking the loop is not useful, since requeued packets
are ahead of any packets still in the qdisc.
It is also more expensive, since next TX completion will
push these packets later, while skbs are not in cpu caches.
It is also a behavior difference with TSO packets, that can
break the BQL limit by a large amount.
Note that drivers should use __netdev_tx_sent_queue()
in order to have optimal xmit_more support, and avoid
useless atomic operations as shown in the following patch.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
