Gavi Teitz 4c8fb2986d net/mlx5e: Increase VF representors' SQ size to 128
The default size for the VF representors' SQ was too small to handle high
packet rates. Doubling the size from 64 to 128 drastically improves the
packet rate under stress (by about 50%), whereas increasing the size
beyond 128 has not shown to make any further difference.

The impact of the SQ size was measured with UDP traffic, in the following
topology: TG <-> PF <-> TC forwarding <-> VF representor <-> VF in VM
over a single core processing bi-directional traffic, with the following
results:

                                  SQ size of 64:     SQ size of 128:
Packet rate for 64B UDP packets:    860 [Kpps]         1280 [Kpps]
Packet rate for 114B VxLan
encapsulated UDP packets:           320 [Kpps]          500 [Kpps]

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.
