From 697fefc7c1531f75ecd9623a4a4cbd47fab32ca8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Intiyaz Basha Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2018 19:25:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] liquidio: Prioritize control messages During heavy tx traffic, control messages (sent by liquidio driver to NIC firmware) sometimes do not get processed in a timely manner. Reason is: the low-level metadata of control messages and that of egress network packets indicate that they have the same priority. Fix it by setting a higher priority for control messages through the new ctrl_qpg field in the oct_txpciq struct. It is the NIC firmware that does the actual setting of priority by writing to the new ctrl_qpg field; the host driver treats that value as opaque and just assigns it to pki_ih3->qpg Signed-off-by: Intiyaz Basha Signed-off-by: Felix Manlunas Signed-off-by: David S.
