Mellanox OFED 3.1 [1] comes with improved APIs that Mellanox ConnectX-4 (mlx5) adapters can take advantage of, such as:
- Separate post and doorbell operations on all queues. - Lightweight RX queues called Work Queues (WQs). - Low-level RSS indirection table and hash key configuration. This patchset enhances mlx5 with all of these for better performance and flexibility. Documentation is updated accordingly.
