Eran Ben Elisha 7ca560b5af net/mlx5e: Poll event queue upon TX timeout before performing full channels recovery
Up until this patch, on every TX timeout we would try to do channels
recovery.  However, in case of a lost interrupt for an EQ, the channel
associated to it cannot be recovered if reopened as it would never get
another interrupt on sent/received traffic, and eventually ends up with
another TX timeout (Restarting the EQ is not part of channel recovery).

This patch adds a mechanism for explicitly polling EQ in case of a TX
timeout in order to recover from a lost interrupt. If this is not the
case (no pending EQEs), perform a channels full recovery as usual.

Once a lost EQE is recovered, it triggers the NAPI to run and handle all
pending completions. This will free some budget in the bql (via calling
netdev_tx_completed_queue) or by clearing pending TXWQEs and waking up
the queue.  One of the above actions will move the queue to be ready for
transmit again.

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.
