[Bloat] Trying to *really* understand Linux pacing

[Michael Welzl]

Dear all,

I’m now finally done updating the document, based on inputs from various folks in this round - most notably Neal, who went to great lengths to help me understand what I saw in my tests (thank you!).  Now the description should be mostly correct (I hope) and pretty complete, and it also includes TSO / GSO.

Comments are still welcome if anyone sees a mistake or something:

Several people have in the meanwhile told me that this is useful for the community. I’m glad to hear that!  I really only started this for myself, just to understand what’s going on. Now I believe I do… but hey, if this helps others too, this is great!   So, please feel free to forward this.

Cheers,
Michael
