Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 233/294] net/mlx5e: set the tx_queue_len for pfifo_fast

From: William Tu <witu@...dia.com>

[ Upstream commit a38cc5706fb9f7dc4ee3a443f61de13ce1e410ed ]

By default, the mq netdev creates a pfifo_fast qdisc. On a
system with 16 core, the pfifo_fast with 3 bands consumes
16 * 3 * 8 (size of pointer) * 1024 (default tx queue len)
= 393KB. The patch sets the tx qlen to representor default
value, 128 (1<<MLX5E_REP_PARAMS_DEF_LOG_SQ_SIZE), which
consumes 16 * 3 * 8 * 128 = 49KB, saving 344KB for each
representor at ECPF.
