When the admin enables/disables cqe compression, updating
mpwqe stride size is required:
CQE compress ON ==> stride size = 256B
CQE compress OFF ==> stride size = 64B
This is already done on driver load via mlx5e_set_rq_type_params, all we
need is just to call it on arbitrary admin changes of cqe compression
state via priv flags or when changing timestamping state
(as it is mutually exclusive with cqe compression).
This bug introduces no functional damage, it only makes cqe compression
occur less often, since in ConnectX4-LX CQE compression is performed
only on packets smaller than stride size.
Tested:
ethtool --set-priv-flags ethxx rx_cqe_compress on
pktgen with 64 < pkt size < 256 and netperf TCP_STREAM (IPv4/IPv6)
verify `ethtool -S ethxx | grep compress` are advancing more often
(rapidly)

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.
