Linux kernel source tree

We can get many completions in one interrupt. Currently, the CQ tasklet handles up to half queue size completions, and then arms the hardware to generate additional events, which means that in case that there were additional completions that we did not handle, we will get immediately an additional interrupt to handle the rest. The decision to handle up to half of the queue size is arbitrary and was determined in 2015, when mlxsw driver was added to the kernel. One additional fact that should be taken into account is that while WQEs from RDQ are handled, the CPU that handles the tasklet is dedicated for this task, which means that we might hold the CPU for a long time. Handle WQEs in smaller chucks, then arm CQ doorbell to notify the hardware to send additional notifications. Set the chunk size to 64 as this number is recommended using NAPI and the driver will use NAPI in a next patch. Note that for now we use ARM doorbell to retrigger CQ tasklet, but with NAPI it will be more efficient as software will reschedule the poll method and we will not involve hardware for that.

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 reStructuredText 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.
