IPQ8074 HW supports three TCL rings for tx. Currently these rings are mapped based on the Access categories, viz. VO, VI, BE, BK. In case, one of the traffic type dominates, then it could stress the same tcl rings. Rather, it would be optimal to make use of all the rings in a round robin fashion irrespective of the traffic type so that the load could be evenly distributed among all the rings. Also, in case the selected ring is busy or full, a retry mechanism is used to ensure other available ring is selected without dropping the packet. In SMP systems, this change avoids a single CPU from getting hogged when heavy traffic of same category is transmitted. The tx completion interrupts corresponding to the used tcl ring would be more which causes the assigned CPU to get hogged. Distribution of tx packets to different tcl rings helps balance this load.

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.
