> Please ignore this comment, it is not important, but I had to get it out of my system: I assume that the "LWM" name is from the NIC datasheet; otherwise I would probably prefer something with "threshold"... LWM is easily confused with "low water mark", which is the opposite of what the LWM does. Names are always open for discussion, so I won't object to it.

Yes it is a threshold, and yes it is often called a watermark.
I think we can get more ideas and votes about the naming.
Please let's conclude on a short name which can be inserted
easily in function names.
