4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Daniel Jurgens <danielj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 16b0e0695a73b68d8ca40288c8f9614ef208917b upstream.
When creating kernel CQs use 128B CQE stride if the
cache line size is 128B, 64B otherwise. This prevents
multiple CQEs from residing in a 128B cache line,
which can cause retries when there are concurrent
read and writes in one cache line.
Tested with IPoIB on PPC64, saw ~5% throughput
improvement.
Fixes: e126ba97dba9 ('mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters')
