The USB driver uses four USB Request Blocks for RX. Before submitting one, it allocates a 32768 byte skb for the RX data. This allocation can fail, maybe due to temporary memory fragmentation. When the allocation fails, the corresponding URB is never submitted again. After four such allocation failures, all RX stops because the driver is not requesting data from the device anymore. Don't allocate a 32768 byte skb when submitting a USB Request Block (which happens very often). Instead preallocate 8 such skbs, and reuse them over and over. If all 8 are busy, allocate a new one. This is pretty rare. If the allocation fails, use a work to try again later. When there are enough free skbs again, free the excess skbs. Also, use WQ_BH for the RX workqueue. With a normal or high priority workqueue the skbs are processed too slowly when the system is even a little busy, like when opening a new page in a browser, and the driver runs out of free skbs and allocates a lot of new ones. This is more or less what the out-of-tree Realtek drivers do, except they use a tasklet instead of a BH workqueue. Tested with RTL8723DU, RTL8821AU, RTL8812AU, RTL8812BU, RTL8822CU, RTL8811CU.

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 reStructuredText 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.
