RDMA/mlx5: Better estimate max_qp_wr to reflect WQE count

Browse source

[ Upstream commit 1a7c18c485 ]

The mlx5 driver currently derives max_qp_wr directly from the
log_max_qp_sz HCA capability:

    props->max_qp_wr = 1 << MLX5_CAP_GEN(mdev, log_max_qp_sz);

However, this value represents the number of WQEs in units of Basic
Blocks (see MLX5_SEND_WQE_BB), not actual number of WQEs.  Since the size
of a WQE can vary depending on transport type and features (e.g., atomic
operations, UMR, LSO), the actual number of WQEs can be significantly
smaller than the WQEBB count suggests.

This patch introduces a conservative estimation of the worst-case WQE size
— considering largest segments possible with 1 SGE and no inline data or
special features. It uses this to derive a more accurate max_qp_wr value.
