Data center server CPUs number keeps getting larger with time. Currently, our driver limits the number of channels to 128. Maximum channels number is enforced and bounded by hardcoded defines (en.h/MLX5E_MAX_NUM_CHANNELS) even though the device and machine (CPUs num) can allow more. Refactor current implementation in order to handle further channels. The maximum supported channels number will be increased in the followup patch. Introduce RQT size calculation/allocation scheme below: 1) Preserve current RQT size of 256 for channels number up to 128 (the old limit). 2) For greater channels number, RQT size is calculated by multiplying the channels number by 2 and rounding up the result to the nearest power of 2. If the calculated RQT size exceeds the maximum supported size by the NIC, fallback to this maximum RQT size (1 << log_max_rqt_size). Since RQT size is no more static, allocate and free the indirection table SW shadow dynamically.

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.
