Now that LRO is not supported for Legacy RQ, there is no source of out-of-order completions in the WQ, and we can use a cyclic one. This has multiple advantages: - reduces the WQE size (smaller PCI transactions). - lower overhead in datapath (no handling of 'next' pointers). - no reserved WQE for the WQ head (was need in linked-list). - allows using a constant map between frag and dma_info struct, in downstream patch. Performance tests: ConnectX-4, single core, single RX ring. Major gain in packet rate of single ring XDP drop. Bottleneck is shifted form HW (at 16Mpps) to SW (at 20Mpps).

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.
