Reduce the amount of time spent replenishing RX buffers by
only doing so once available buffers has fallen under a certain
threshold, in this case half of the total number of buffers, or
if the polling loop exits before the packets processed is less
than its budget.

1/2 seems a simple and good algorithm.
Explaining why "frames_process < budget" is necessary in the commit
message
or source code also helps.
Hello, Lijun. The patch author, Dwip Banerjee, suggested the modified
commit message below:
Reduce the amount of time spent replenishing RX buffers by
only doing so once available buffers has fallen under a certain
threshold, in this case half of the total number of buffers, or
if the polling loop exits before the packets processed is less
than its budget. Non-exhaustion of NAPI budget implies lower
incoming packet pressure, allowing the leeway to refill the buffers
in preparation for any impending burst.
It looks good to me.
Would such an update require a v3?
I assume you ask Jakub, right?
Yes. There was an issue with my mail client in my earlier response, so I
am posting Dwip's modified commit message again below.
