It was observed that Tx performance was inconsistent across all queues
and/or VSIs and that it was directly connected to existing 9-layer
topology of the Tx scheduler.
Introduce new private devlink param - tx_scheduling_layers. This parameter
gives user flexibility to choose the 5-layer transmit scheduler topology
which helps to smooth out the transmit performance.
Allowed parameter values are 5 and 9.
Example usage:
Show:
devlink dev param show pci/0000:4b:00.0 name tx_scheduling_layers
pci/0000:4b:00.0:
name tx_scheduling_layers type driver-specific
values:
cmode permanent value 9
Set:
devlink dev param set pci/0000:4b:00.0 name tx_scheduling_layers value 5
cmode permanent
devlink dev param set pci/0000:4b:00.0 name tx_scheduling_layers value 9
cmode permanent

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 reStructuredText 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.
