Subject: [PATCH 5.16 088/164] net/mlx5: DR, Cache STE shadow memory

From: Yevgeny Kliteynik <kliteyn@...dia.com>

commit e5b2bc30c21139ae10f0e56989389d0bc7b7b1d6 upstream.

During rule insertion on each ICM memory chunk we also allocate shadow memory
used for management. This includes the hw_ste, dr_ste and miss list per entry.
Since the scale of these allocations is large we noticed a performance hiccup
that happens once malloc and free are stressed.
In extreme usecases when ~1M chunks are freed at once, it might take up to 40
seconds to complete this, up to the point the kernel sees this as self-detected
stall on CPU:

 rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU

To resolve this we will increase the reuse of shadow memory.
Doing this we see that a time in the aforementioned usecase dropped from ~40
seconds to ~8-10 seconds.

Fixes: 29cf8febd185 ("net/mlx5: DR, ICM pool memory allocator")
