While running ipsec processing for traffic through multiple network interfaces, it is observed that caam driver gets less time to poll responses from caam block compared to ethernet driver. This is because ethernet driver has as many napi instances per cpu as the number of ethernet interfaces in system. Therefore, caam driver's napi executes lesser than the ethernet driver's napi instances. This results in situation that we end up submitting more requests to caam (which it is able to finish off quite fast), but don't dequeue the responses at same rate. This makes caam response FQs bloat with large number of frames. In some situations, it makes kernel crash due to out-of-memory. To prevent it We increase the napi budget of dpseci driver to a big value so that caam driver is able to drain its response queues at enough rate.

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.
