Next patch will use page pool to allocate buffers for RDQ. Initialize page pool for each CQ, which is mapped 1:1 to RDQ. Page pool for each Rx queue enhances Rx side performance by reclaiming buffers back to each queue specific pool. When only one NAPI instance is the consumer of pages from page pool, it is recommended to pass it as part of 'page_pool_params', then page pool APIs will be done without special locks. mlxsw driver holds NAPI instance per CQ, so add page pool per CQ and use the existing NAPI instance. For now, pages are not allocated from the pool, next patch will use it. Some notes regarding 'page_pool_params': * Use PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP to allow page pool handles DMA mapping, for now do not use sync flag, as only the device writes to this memory and we read it only when it finishes writing there. This will probably be changed when we will support XDP. * Define 'order' according to maximum MTU and take into account software overhead. Some round up are done, which means that we allocate more pages than we really need. This can be improved later by using fragmented buffers. * Use pool_size = MLXSW_PCI_WQE_COUNT. This will be the size of 'ptr_ring', and should be the maximum amount of packets that page pool will allocate memory for. In our case, this is the queue size, defined as MLXSW_PCI_WQE_COUNT.

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.
