[ Upstream commit 1d15d9098ad12b0021ac5a6b851f26d1ab021e5a ]
Driver will use "reply descriptor post queues" in round robin fashion when
the combined MSI-X mode is not enabled. With this IO completions are
distributed and load balanced across all the available reply descriptor
post queues equally.
This is enabled only if combined MSI-X mode is not enabled in firmware.
This improves performance and also fixes soft lockups.
When load balancing is enabled, IRQ affinity from driver needs to be
disabled.

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.
