Our current vsc9959_tas_guard_bands_update() algorithm has a limitation imposed by the hardware design. To avoid packet overruns between one gate interval and the next (which would add jitter for scheduled traffic in the next gate), we configure the switch to use guard bands. These are as large as the largest packet which is possible to be transmitted. The problem is that at tc-taprio intervals of sizes comparable to a guard band, there isn't an obvious place in which to split the interval between the useful portion (for scheduling) and the guard band portion (where scheduling is blocked). For example, a 10 us interval at 1Gbps allows 1225 octets to be transmitted. We currently split the interval between the bare minimum of 33 ns useful time (required to schedule a single packet) and the rest as guard band. But 33 ns of useful scheduling time will only allow a single packet to be sent, be that packet 1200 octets in size, or 60 octets in size. It is impossible to send 2 60 octets frames in the 10 us window. Except that if we reduced the guard band (and therefore the maximum allowable SDU size) to 5 us, the useful time for scheduling is now also 5 us, so more packets could be scheduled. The hardware inflexibility of not scheduling according to individual packet lengths must unfortunately propagate to the user, who needs to tune the queueMaxSDU values if he wants to fit more small packets into a 10 us interval, rather than one large packet.
