Writing 64B CQEs to 128B cache lines results in a RMW operation. Padding the CQEs to 128B if possible improves performance on 128B cache line systems like PPC. Testing on PPC showed up to a 24% improvement in small packet throughput vs the default behavior, depending on the workload and system topology.

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.
