1) Adham Faris, Increase max supported channels number to 256
2) Leon Romanovsky, Allow IPsec soft/hard limits in bytes
3) Shay Drory, Replace global mlx5_intf_lock with
HCA devcom component lock
4) Wei Zhang, Optimize SF creation flow
During SF creation, HCA state gets changed from INVALID to
IN_USE step by step. Accordingly, FW sends vhca event to
driver to inform about this state change asynchronously.
Each vhca event is critical because all related SW/FW
operations are triggered by it.
Currently there is only a single mlx5 general event handler
which not only handles vhca event but many other events.
This incurs huge bottleneck because all events are forced
to be handled in serial manner.
Moreover, all SFs share same table_lock which inevitably
impacts each other when they are created in parallel.
This series will solve this issue by:
1. A dedicated vhca event handler is introduced to eliminate
the mutual impact with other mlx5 events.
2. Max FW threads work queues are employed in the vhca event
handler to fully utilize FW capability.
3. Redesign SF active work logic to completely remove
table_lock.
With above optimization, SF creation time is reduced by 25%,
i.e. from 80s to 60s when creating 100 SFs.
Patches summary:
Patch 1 - implement dedicated vhca event handler with max FW
cmd threads of work queues.
Patch 2 - remove table_lock by redesigning SF active work
logic.

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.
