The upstream kernel commit cited below modified the workqueue in the
new CQ API to be bound to a specific CPU (instead of being unbound).
This caused ALL users of the new CQ API to use the same bound WQ.
Specifically, MAD handling was severely delayed when the CPU bound
to the WQ was busy handling (higher priority) interrupts.
This caused a delay in the MAD "heartbeat" response handling,
which resulted in ports being incorrectly classified as "down".
To fix this, add a new "unbound" WQ type to the new CQ API, so that users
have the option to choose either a bound WQ or an unbound WQ.
For MADs, choose the new "unbound" WQ.

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.
