The existing "auto eq delay" mechanism was sometimes skipping over an EQ, not ramping the coalescing down under light load fast enough, and in other cases never kicked in as cpu sharing by multiple vectors didn't quite add up right. Tweak the interrupt mechanism such that: - Add a flag to the EQ to force checking for colaescing values when being serviced in the interrupt handler. The flag will be set by any CQ bound to the EQ whenever the number of CQ elements process in a single scan meets or exceeds the hardware queue notify level. E.g. there's a significant number of completions happening. - In the heartbeat work item that checks coalescing: - Replace the structure that was counting the number of EQs that interrupted on a single cpu with a new structure that looks at the EQ to see whether EQ currently has a coalescing value (thus it should be re-evaluate) or was marked by the new flag indicating heavy completions. - When a cpu, which may be servicing multiple vectors, had at least 1 EQ that should be checked, a new coalescing delay is calculated based on the number of interrupts that occurred on the cpu. - The new coalescing value is then applied to the EQs that had interrupted on the cpu.
