Ok, here's one thing you changed which is important. We do:
-->XXX-->rq-->tq-->XXX-->
rq is controlled by queue limit.
We only load rq to tq if all of tq is empty. If it is not
we dont move things over. Essentially this is a flow
control scheme. We dont want many sources to be overwhelming
us with packets and every time we grab a txqlen number of packets.
For this reason:
I would be comfortable if all you did was to add the splice
after you skb_peek() - i think that would be a good improvement
which is not bound to break anything else.
cheers,
jamal
