net/mlx4_en: Ignore budget on TX napi polling
It is recommended that TX work not count against the quota. The cost of TX packet liberation is a minute percentage of what it costs to process an RX frame. Furthermore, that SKB freeing makes memory available for other paths in the stack. Give the TX a larger budget and be more aggressive about cleaning up the Tx descriptors this budget could be changed using ethtool: $ ethtool -C eth1 tx-frames-irq <budget> Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
