Tal Gilboa 0088cbbc4b net/mlx5e: Enable CQE based moderation on TX CQ
By using CQE based moderation on TX CQ we can reduce the number of TX
interrupt rate. Besides the benefit of less interrupts, this also
allows the kernel to better utilize TSO. Since TSO has some CPU overhead,
it might not aggregate when CPU is under high stress. By reducing the
interrupt rate and the CPU utilization, we can get better aggregation
and better overall throughput.
The feature is enabled by default and has a private flag in ethtool
for control.

Throughput, interrupt rate and TSO utilization improvements:
(ConnectX-4Lx 40GbE, unidirectional, 1/16 TCP streams, 64B packets)
---------------------------------------------------------
Metric   | Streams | CQE Based | EQE Based | improvement
---------------------------------------------------------
BW       |    1    |  2.4Gb/s  | 2.15Gb/s  |  +11.6%
IR       |    1    |  27Kips   | 50.6Kips  |  -46.7%
TSO Util |    1    |  74.6%    | 71%       |  +5%
BW       |    16   |  29Gb/s   | 25.85Gb/s |  +12.2%
IR       |    16   |  482Kips  | 745Kips   |  -35.3%
TSO Util |    16   |  69.1%    | 49%       |  +41.1%

*BW = Bandwidth, IR = Interrupt rate, ips = interrupt per second.
TSO Util = bytes in TSO sessions / all bytes transferred

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
