Subject[PATCH 1/1] RDMA/mlx5: Release CPU for other processes in mlx5_free_cmd_msg()
Date
In non FLR context, at times CX-5 requests release of ~8 million device pages.
This needs humongous number of cmd mailboxes, which to be released once
the pages are reclaimed. Release of humongous number of cmd mailboxes
consuming cpu time running into many secs, with non preemptable kernels
is leading to critical process starving on that cpu’s RQ. To alleviate
this, this patch relinquishes cpu periodically but conditionally.
