Currently the number of TX queues that are allocated doesn't depend on the number of TCs, the module always loads with max num of UP per channel. In order to prevent the allocation of unnecessary memory, the module will load with minimum number of UPs per channel, and the user will be able to control the number of TX queues per channel by changing the number of TC to 8 using the tc command. The variable num_up will hold the information about the current number of UPs. Due to the change, needed to remove the lines that set the value of UP to be different than zero in the func "mlx4_en_select_queue", since now the num of TX queues that are allocated is only one per channel in default. In order not to force the UP to be zero in case of only one TC, added a condition before forcing it in the func "mlx4_en_fill_qp_context". Tested: After the module is loaded with minimum number of UP per channel, to increase num of TCs to 8, use: tc qdisc add dev ens8 root mqprio num_tc 8 In order to decrease the number of TCs to minimum number of UP per channel, use: tc qdisc del dev ens8 root Signed-off-by: Inbar Karmy <inbark@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Cc: Tarick Bedeir <tarick@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
