The at91rm9200 variant used by a few chips including the MSC313 supports two Tx descriptors (one frame being serialized and another one queued). However the driver only implemented a single one, which adds a dead time after each transfer to receive and process the interrupt and wake the queue up, preventing from reaching line rate. This patch implements a very basic 2-deep queue to address this limitation. The tests run on a Breadbee board equipped with an MSC313E show that at 1 GHz, HTTP traffic on medium-sized objects (45kB) was limited to exactly 50 Mbps before this patch, and jumped to 76 Mbps with this patch. And tests on a single TCP stream with an MTU of 576 jump from 10kpps to 15kpps. With 1500 byte packets it's now possible to reach line rate versus 75 Mbps before.

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.
