Subject: net/mlx4_en: avoid one cache line miss to ring doorbell
Patch-mainline: v5.16-rc1
Git-commit: 9ac936276f8628ef5765bcc2ca7138a803de8aff
References: jsc#SLE-19256
This patch caches doorbell address directly in struct mlx4_en_tx_ring.
This removes the need to bring in cpu caches whole struct mlx4_uar
in fast path.
Note that mlx4_uar is not guaranteed to be on a local node,
because mlx4_bf_alloc() uses a single free list (priv->bf_list)
regardless of its node parameter.
This kind of change does matter in presence of light/moderate traffic.
In high stress, this read-only line would be kept hot in caches.
