Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/07/21. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/5b16f4717a145acd8e87c2e23afda55ddbe5dd8f

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: remove CQE padding device argument

[ upstream commit 4a7f979af28ee94080a5cb02dd21493aa4363777 ]

The data-path code doesn't take care on 'rxq_cqe_pad_en' and use padded
CQE for any case when the system cache-line size is 128B.

This makes the argument redundant.

Remove it.

Fixes: bc91e8db12cd ("net/mlx5: add 128B padding of Rx completion entry")

-- ``rxq_cqe_pad_en`` parameter [int]
-
-  A nonzero value enables 128B padding of CQE on RX side. The size of CQE
-  is aligned with the size of a cacheline of the core. If cacheline size is
-  128B, the CQE size is configured to be 128B even though the device writes
-  only 64B data on the cacheline. This is to avoid unnecessary cache
-  invalidation by device's two consecutive writes on to one cacheline.
-  However in some architecture, it is more beneficial to update entire
-  cacheline with padding the rest 64B rather than striding because
-  read-modify-write could drop performance a lot. On the other hand,
-  writing extra data will consume more PCIe bandwidth and could also drop
-  the maximum throughput. It is recommended to empirically set this
-  parameter. Disabled by default.
-
-  Supported on:
-
-  - CPU having 128B cacheline with ConnectX-5 and BlueField.
-
 - ``rxq_pkt_pad_en`` parameter [int]
 
   A nonzero value enables padding Rx packet to the size of cacheline on PCI
