Ofer Levi 2c925db0a7 net/mlx5e: Support enhanced CQE compression
CQE compression feature improves performance by reducing PCI bandwidth
bottleneck on CQEs write.
Enhanced CQE compression introduced in ConnectX-6 and it aims to reduce
CPU utilization of SW side packets decompression by eliminating the
need to rewrite ownership bit, which is likely to cost a cache-miss, is
replaced by validity byte handled solely by HW.
Another advantage of the enhanced feature is that session packets are
available to SW as soon as a single CQE slot is filled, instead of
waiting for session to close, this improves packet latency from NIC to
host.

Performance:
Following are tested scenarios and reults comparing basic and enahnced
CQE compression.

setup: IXIA 100GbE connected directly to port 0 and port 1 of
ConnectX-6 Dx 100GbE dual port.

Case #1 RX only, single flow goes to single queue:
IRQ rate reduced by ~ 30%, CPU utilization improved by 2%.

Case #2 IP forwarding from port 1 to port 0 single flow goes to
single queue:
Avg latency improved from 60us to 21us, frame loss improved from 0.5% to 0.0%.

Case #3 IP forwarding from port 1 to port 0 Max Throughput IXIA sends
100%, 8192 UDP flows, goes to 24 queues:
Enhanced is equal or slightly better than basic.

Testing the basic compression feature with this patch shows there is
no perfrormance degradation of the basic compression feature.

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.
