The representors' RQ size was not large enough for them to achieve
high enough performance, and therefore needed to be enlarged, while
suffering a minimum hit to its memory usage. To achieve this the
representors RQ size was increased, and its type was changed to be a
striding RQ if it is supported.
Towards that goal the following changes were made:
* Extracted the sequence for setting the standard netdev's RQ parmas
into a function
* Replaced the sequence for setting the representor's RQ params with
the standard sequence
The impact of this change can be seen in the following measurements
taken on a setup of a VM over a VF, connected to OVS via the VF
representor, to an external host:
Before current change:
TCP Throughput [Gb/s]
VM to external host ~ 7.2
With the current change (measured with a striding RQ):
TCP Throughput [Gb/s]
VM to external host ~ 23.5
Each representor now consumes 2 [MB] of memory for its packet
buffers.

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.
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.
