[ Upstream commit 56518a603fd2bf74762d176ac980572db84a3e14 ]
Long message loopback slice is used for achieving traffic balance between
QPs. It prevents the problem that QPs with large traffic occupying the
hardware pipeline for a long time and QPs with small traffic cannot be
scheduled.
Currently, its maximum value is set to 16K, which means only after a QP
sends 16K will the second QP be scheduled. This value is too large, which
will lead to unbalanced traffic scheduling, and thus it needs to be
modified.
The setting range of the long message loopback slice is modified to be
from 1024 (the lower limit supported by hardware) to mtu. Actual testing
shows that this value can significantly reduce error in hardware traffic
scheduling.
This solution is compatible with both HIP08 and HIP09. The modified
lp_pktn_ini has a maximum value of 2 (when mtu is 256), so the range
checking code for lp_pktn_ini is no longer necessary and needs to be
deleted.

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.
