[ Upstream commit998e5166e6] Since commit92418fb147("i40e/i40evf: Use usec value instead of reg value for ITR defines") the driver tracks the interrupt throttling intervals in single usec units, although the actual ITRN/ITR0 registers are programmed in 2 usec units. Most register programming flows in the driver correctly handle the conversion, although it is currently not applied when the registers are initialized to their default values. Most of the time this doesn't present a problem since the default values are usually immediately overwritten through the standard adaptive throttling mechanism, or updated manually by the user, but if adaptive throttling is disabled and the interval values are left alone then the incorrect value will persist. Since the intended default interval of 50 usecs (vs. 100 usecs as programmed) performs better for most traffic workloads, this can lead to performance regressions. This patch adds the correct conversion when writing the initial values to the ITRN registers.

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.
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.
