The TX queue index returned by the fallback function ranges
between [0,NUM CHANNELS - 1] if QoS isn't set and
[0, (NUM CHANNELS)*(NUM TCs) -1] otherwise.
Our HW uses different TC mapping than the fallback function
(which is denoted as 'up', user priority) so we only need to extract
a channel number out of the returned value.
Since (NUM CHANNELS)*(NUM TCs) is a relatively small number, using
reciprocal scale almost always returns zero.
We instead access the 'txq2sq' table to extract the sq (and with it the
channel number) associated with the tx queue, thus getting
a more evenly distributed channel number.
Perf:
Rx/Tx side with Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4108 CPU @ 1.80GHz and ConnectX-5.
Used 'iperf' UDP traffic, 10 threads, and priority 5.
Before: 0.566Mpps
After: 2.37Mpps
As expected, releasing the existing bottleneck of steering all traffic
to TX queue zero significantly improves transmission rates.

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.
