Linux kernel source tree

In RQs of type multi-packet WQE (Striding RQ), each WQE is relatively large (typically 256KB) but their number is relatively small (8 in default). Re-mapping the descriptors' buffers before re-posting them is done via UMR (User-Mode Memory Registration) operations. On the one hand, posting UMR WQEs in bulks reduces communication overhead with the HW and better utilizes its processing units. On the other hand, delaying the WQE repost operations for a small RQ (say, of 4 WQEs) might drastically hit its performance, causing packet drops due to no receive buffer, for high or bursty incoming packets rate. Here we restrict the bulk size for too small RQs. Effectively, with the current constants, RQ of size 4 (minimum allowed) would have no bulking, while larger RQs will continue working with bulks of 2.

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.
