68- In other words, it is recommended to ignore the budget argument when
69- performing TX buffer reclamation to ensure that the reclamation is not
70- arbitrarily bounded; however, it is required to honor the budget argument

68+ In other words for Rx processing the ``budget `` argument limits how many
69+ packets driver can process in a single poll. Rx specific APIs like page
70+ pool or XDP cannot be used at all when ``budget `` is 0.
71+ skb Tx processing should happen regardless of the ``budget ``, but if
