net/mlx4_en: Adjust RX frag strides to frag sizes
This patch improves memory utilization and therefore the packets rate for special MTU's. Instead of setting the frag_stride to the maximal hard coded frag_size, use the actual frag_size that is set according to the MTU, when setting the stride of the last frag. So, for example, for MTU 1600, where the frag_size of the 2nd frag is 86, the frag_size is set to 128 instead of 4096. See below: Before: frag:0 - size:1536 prefix:0 stride:1536 frag:1 - size:86 prefix:1536 stride:4096 frag 0 allocator: - size:32768 frags:21 frag 1 allocator: - size:32768 frags:8 After: frag:0 - size:1536 prefix:0 stride:1536 frag:1 - size:86 prefix:1536 stride:128 frag 0 allocator: - size:32768 frags:21 frag 1 allocator: - size:32768 frags:256 Signed-off-by: Ido Shamay <idos@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
