While running ipsec processing for traffic through multiple network interfaces, it is observed that caam driver gets less time to poll responses from caam block compared to ethernet driver. This is because ethernet driver has as many napi instances per cpu as the number of ethernet interfaces in system. Therefore, caam driver's napi executes lesser than the ethernet driver's napi instances. This results in situation that we end up submitting more requests to caam (which it is able to finish off quite fast), but don't dequeue the responses at same rate. This makes caam response FQs bloat with large number of frames. In some situations, it makes kernel crash due to out-of-memory. To prevent it We increase the napi budget of dpseci driver to a big value so that caam driver is able to drain its response queues at enough rate.
