This patch replaces the existing mechanism for determining the correct value to program for adaptive ITR with yet another new and more complicated approach. The basic idea from a 30K foot view is that this new approach will push the Rx interrupt moderation up so that by default it starts in low latency and is gradually pushed up into a higher latency setup as long as doing so increases the number of packets processed, if the number of packets drops to 4 to 1 per packet we will reset and just base our ITR on the size of the packets being received. For Tx we leave it floating at a high interrupt delay and do not pull it down unless we start processing more than 112 packets per interrupt. If we start exceeding that we will cut our interrupt rates in half until we are back below 112. The side effect of these patches are that we will be processing more packets per interrupt. This is both a good and a bad thing as it means we will not be blocking processing in the case of things like pktgen and XDP, but we will also be consuming a bit more CPU in the cases of things such as network throughput tests using netperf. One delta from this versus the ixgbe version of the changes is that I have made the interrupt moderation a bit more aggressive when we are in bulk mode by moving our "goldilocks zone" up from 48 to 96 to 56 to 112. The main motivation behind moving this is to address the fact that we need to update less frequently, and have more fine grained control due to the separate Tx and Rx ITR times.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
