The smallest TX ring size we support must fit a TX SKB with MAX_SKB_FRAGS
+ 1. Because the first TX BD for a packet is always a long TX BD, we
need an extra TX BD to fit this packet. Define BNXT_MIN_TX_DESC_CNT with
this value to make this more clear. The current code uses a minimum
that is off by 1. Fix it using this constant.
The tx_wake_thresh to determine when to wake up the TX queue is half the
ring size but we must have at least BNXT_MIN_TX_DESC_CNT for the next
packet which may have maximum fragments. So the comparison of the
available TX BDs with tx_wake_thresh should be >= instead of > in the
current code. Otherwise, at the smallest ring size, we will never wake
up the TX queue and will cause TX timeout.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
