Linux kernel source tree
ec9cdca066
In our fast-path design, a WQE (Work Queue Element) must not cross the page boundary. To enforce that, for WQEs consisting of more than one BB (Basic Block), the driver checks the available contiguous space in the WQ in advance, and if it's not enough, it pads it with NOPs. This patch modifies the code that calculates the position of next WQE, considering the padding, and prepares the WQE. This code is common for all SQ types. In this patch it's reorganized in a way that makes the usage pattern unified for all SQ types, and makes the implementations self-contained and look almost the same, preparing the repeating code to further attempts to deduplicate it. One place is left as is: mlx5e_sq_xmit and mlx5e_fill_sq_frag_edge call inside, because it is special in a way that it may also copy WQE's cseg and eseg when reserving space. This will be eliminated in one of the following patches, and this place will be converted to the new approach, too.

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.
