Move DATA transmission into the call processor work item. In a future patch, this will be called from the I/O thread rather than being itsown work item. This will allow DATA transmission to be driven directly by incoming ACKs, pokes and timers as those are processed. The Tx queue is also split: The queue of packets prepared by sendmsg is now places in call->tx_sendmsg and the packet dispatcher decants the packets into call->tx_buffer as space becomes available in the transmission window. This allows sendmsg to run ahead of the available space to try and prevent an underflow in transmission.

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.
