When we did the original tests for the optimal value of sk_pacing_shift, we came up with 6 ms of buffering as the default. Sadly, 6 is not a power of two, so when picking the shift value I erred on the size of less buffering and picked 4 ms instead of 8. This was probably wrong; those 2 ms of extra buffering makes a larger difference than I thought. So, change the default pacing shift to 7, which corresponds to 8 ms of buffering. The point of diminishing returns really kicks in after 8 ms, and so having this as a default should cut down on the need for extensive per-device testing and overrides needed in the drivers.

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.
