During latency tests (netperf TCP_RR) a 30% degradation of HW GRO vs SW
GRO was observed. This is due to SHAMPO triggering timeout filler CQEs
instead of delivering the CQE for the packet.
Having a short timeout for SHAMPO doesn't bring any benefits as it is
the driver that does the merging, not the hardware. On the contrary, it
can have a negative impact: additional filler CQEs are generated due to
the timeout. As there is no way to disable this timeout, this change
sets it to the maximum value.
Instead of using the packet_merge.timeout parameter which is also used
for LRO, set the value directly when filling in the rest of the SHAMPO
parameters in mlx5e_build_rq_param().

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
