Eric Dumazet 01f0f42534 mlx4: do not fire tasklet unless necessary
All rx and rx netdev interrupts are handled by respectively
by mlx4_en_rx_irq() and mlx4_en_tx_irq() which simply schedule a NAPI.

But mlx4_eq_int() also fires a tasklet to service all items that were
queued via mlx4_add_cq_to_tasklet(), but this handler was not called
unless user cqe was handled.

This is very confusing, as "mpstat -I SCPU ..." show huge number of
tasklet invocations.

This patch saves this overhead, by carefully firing the tasklet directly
from mlx4_add_cq_to_tasklet(), removing four atomic operations per IRQ.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
