TX completion has no budget, I am not sure what you mean.
e1000e driver indeed has a limit : It cannot clean more than
tx_ring->count frames per e1000_clean_tx_irq() invocation.
But with BQL, this should not happen ?
# ethtool -g eth0
Ring parameters for eth0:
Pre-set maximums:
RX: 4096
RX Mini: 0
RX Jumbo: 0
TX: 4096
Current hardware settings:
RX: 256
RX Mini: 0
RX Jumbo: 0
TX: 256
