[ Upstream commit d43e4271747ace01a27a49a97a397cb4219f6487 ] Locally generated packets ingress the device through its CPU port. When the CPU port is congested and there are not enough credits in its headroom buffer, packets can be dropped. While this might be acceptable for data packets that traverse the network, configuration packets exchanged between the host and the device (EMADs) should not be subjected to this flow control. The "sdq_lp" bit in the SDQ (Send Descriptor Queue) context allows the host to instruct the device to treat packets sent on this queue as "local processing" and always process them, regardless of the state of the CPU port's headroom. Add the definition of this bit and set it for the dedicated SDQ reserved for the transmission of EMAD packets. This makes the "local processing" bit in the WQE (Work Queue Element) redundant, so clear it.

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.
