Subject: [PATCH v2] net: mana: Batch ringing RX queue doorbell on receiving packets

From: Long Li <[email protected]>

It's inefficient to ring the doorbell page every time a WQE is posted to
the received queue.

Move the code for ringing doorbell page to where after we have posted all
WQEs to the receive queue during a callback from napi_poll().

Tests showed no regression in network latency benchmarks.

Change log:
v2:
Check for comp_read > 0 as it might be negative on completion error.
Set rq.wqe_cnt to 0 according to BNIC spec.

If this is supposed to be a fix, you need to clearly explain what the
performance loss was, so that backporters can make an informed decision.

This change needs to be explained in the commit message, or should be
a separate patch.

I'm sending v3 to include the details.
