T6 introduced a Timer Mechanism in SGE called the
SGE Doorbell Queue Timer. With this we can now configure
TX Queues to get CIDX Updates when:
Time(CIDX == PIDX) >= Timer
Previously we rely on TX Queue Status Page updates by hardware
for DMA completions. This will make Hardware/Firmware actually
deliver the CIDX Updates as Ingress Queue messages with
commensurate Interrupts.
So we now have a new RX Path component for processing CIDX Updates
and reclaiming TX Descriptors faster.

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.
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.
