Dear Chwee-Lin,

Thank you for your patch.

(Just a heads-up, that Zdenek’s email address was not properly quoted in the Cc: list.)

In the summary you could be more specific to say, that you *decrease* the size.

Update IGC_TXPBSIZE_TSN to allocate 5KB per TX queue (TXQ0-TXQ3)
as recommended in I225/I226 SW User Manual Section 7.5.4 for TSN
operation.

Please elaborate on the problem (mention the 7 KB size and hangs), and maybe Faizal remembers why they chose 7 KB.

Also, are there any performance drawbacks. (I know that avoiding hangs tops that, but it would be good to know.)

Reading the commit message of commit 0d58cdc902da ("igc: optimize TX packet buffer utilization for TSN mode"), it says, that the goal is to split up 32 KB. What is happening to the 8 KB that are freed up now?

  #define IGC_DTXMXPKTSZ_TSN    0x19 /* 1600 bytes of max TX DMA packet size */
  #define IGC_DTXMXPKTSZ_DEFAULT        0x98 /* 9728-byte Jumbo frames */

With a more elaborate commit message, feel free to add:
