Currently we set the default number of Tx and Rx descriptors to 128 by default. For Rx this amounts to a full page (assuming 4K pages) because each Rx descriptor is 32 Bytes, but for Tx it only amounts to a half page because each Tx descriptor is 16 Bytes (assuming 4K pages). Instead of assuming 4K pages, determine the ring size and the number of descriptors for Tx and Rx based on a calculation using the PAGE_SIZE, ICE_MAX_NUM_DESC, and ICE_REQ_DESC_MULTIPLE. This change is being made to improve the performance of the driver when using the default settings.

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.
