For the ECPF and representors, reduce the max MPWRQ size from 256KB (18) to 128KB (17). This prepares the later patch for saving representor memory. With Striding RQ, there is a minimum of 4 MPWQEs. So with 128KB of max MPWRQ size, the minimal memory is 4 * 128KB = 512KB. When creating page pool, consider 1500 mtu, the minimal page pool size will be 512KB/4KB = 128 pages = 256 rx ring entries (2 entries per page). Before this patch, setting RX ringsize (ethtool -G rx) to 256 causes driver to allocate page pool size more than it needs due to max MPWRQ is 256KB (18). Ex: 4 * 256KB = 1MB, 1MB/4KB = 256 pages, but actually 128 pages is good enough. Reducing the max MPWRQ to 128KB fixes the limitation.

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.
