Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)

When a packet should be trapped to the CPU the device consumes a WQE (work queue element) from an RDQ (receive descriptor queue) and copies the packet to the address specified in the WQE. The device then tries to post a CQE (completion queue element) that contains various metadata (e.g., ingress port) about the packet to a CQ (completion queue). In case the device managed to consume a WQE, but did not manage to post the corresponding CQE, it will get stuck. This unlikely situation can be triggered due to the scheme the driver is currently using to process CQEs. The driver will consume up to 512 CQEs at a time and after processing each corresponding WQE it will ring the RDQ's doorbell, letting the device know that a new WQE was posted for it to consume. Only after processing all the CQEs (up to 512), the driver will ring the CQ's doorbell, letting the device know that new ones can be posted. Fix this by having the driver ring the CQ's doorbell for every processed CQE, but before ringing the RDQ's doorbell. This guarantees that whenever we post a new WQE, there is a corresponding CQE available. Copy the currently processed CQE to prevent the device from overwriting it with a new CQE after ringing the doorbell. Note that the driver still arms the CQ only after processing all the pending CQEs, so that interrupts for this CQ will only be delivered after the driver finished its processing. Before commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
