In the current code, the TX affinity is per RoCE device, which can cause unfairness between different contexts. e.g. if we open two contexts, and each open 10 QPs concurrently, all of the QPs of the first context might end up on the first port instead of distributed on the two ports as expected To overcome this unfairness between processes, we maintain per device TX affinity, and per process TX affinity. The allocation algorithm is as follow: 1. Hold two tx_port_affinity atomic variables, one per RoCE device and one per ucontext. Both initialized to 0. 2. In mlx5_ib_alloc_ucontext do: 2.1. ucontext.tx_port_affinity = device.tx_port_affinity 2.2. device.tx_port_affinity += 1 3. In modify QP INIT2RST: 3.1. qp.tx_port_affinity = ucontext.tx_port_affinity % MLX5_PORT_NUM 3.2. ucontext.tx_port_affinity += 1 Signed-off-by: Majd Dibbiny <majd@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Moni Shoua <monis@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
