The DPNI object on which we build a network interface has a
certain number of {Rx, Tx, Tx confirmation} frame queues as
resources. The default hardware setup offers one queue of each
type, as well as one DPCON channel, for each core available
in the system.
There are however cases where the number of queues is greater
than the number of cores or channels. Until now, we configured
and used all the frame queues associated with a DPNI, even if it
meant assigning multiple queues of one type to the same channel.
Update the driver to only use a number of queues equal to the
number of channels, ensuring each channel will contain exactly
one Rx and one Tx confirmation queue.
>From the user viewpoint, this change is completely transparent.
Performance wise there is no impact in most scenarios. In case
the number of queues is larger than and not a multiple of the
number of channels, Rx hash distribution offers now better load
balancing between cores, which can have a positive impact on
overall system performance.

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.
