Now that we have congestion group taildrop configured at all times, we can afford to increase the frame queue taildrop threshold; this will ensure a better response when receiving bursts of large-sized frames. Also decouple the buffer pool count from the Rx FQ taildrop threshold, as above change would increase it too much. Instead, keep the old count as a hardcoded value. With the new limits, we try to ensure that: * we allow enough leeway for large frame bursts (by buffering enough of them in queues to avoid heavy dropping in case of bursty traffic, but when overall ingress bandwidth is manageable) * allow pending frames to be evenly spread between ingress FQs, regardless of frame size * avoid dropping frames due to the buffer pool being empty; this is not a bad behaviour per se, but system overall response is more linear and predictable when frames are dropped at frame queue/group level.

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.
