From b61785852ed0a0e7dc16b606157e4a0228cd76cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 20:29:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: increase skb_defer_max default to 128 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit skb_defer_max value is very conservative, and can be increased to avoid too many calls to kick_defer_list_purge().
