TX MPWQE support for SKBs is coming in one of the following patches, and a single MPWQE can send multiple SKBs. This commit prepares the TX path code to handle such cases: 1. An additional FIFO for SKBs is added, just like the FIFO for DMA chunks. 2. struct mlx5e_tx_wqe_info will contain num_fifo_pkts. If a given WQE contains only one packet, num_fifo_pkts will be zero, and the SKB will be stored in mlx5e_tx_wqe_info, as usual. If num_fifo_pkts > 0, the SKB pointer will be NULL, and the SKBs will be stored in the FIFO. This change has no performance impact in TCP single stream test and XDP_TX single stream test. When compiled with a recent GCC, this change shows no visible performance impact on UDP pktgen (burst 32) single stream test either: Packet rate: 16.95 Mpps (±0.15 Mpps) -> 16.96 Mpps (±0.12 Mpps) Instructions per packet: 429 -> 421 Cycles per packet: 160 -> 156 Instructions per cycle: 2.69 -> 2.70 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz (x86_64) NIC: Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx GCC 10.2.0 Signed-off-by: Maxim Mikityanskiy <maximmi@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>
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 Restructured Text 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.
