[PATCH 5.15 076/139] net/mlx5: DR, Cache STE shadow memory

From: Yevgeny Kliteynik kliteyn@nvidia.com

commit e5b2bc30c21139ae10f0e56989389d0bc7b7b1d6 upstream.

During rule insertion on each ICM memory chunk we also allocate shadow memory used for management. This includes the hw_ste, dr_ste and miss list per entry. Since the scale of these allocations is large we noticed a performance hiccup that happens once malloc and free are stressed. In extreme usecases when ~1M chunks are freed at once, it might take up to 40 seconds to complete this, up to the point the kernel sees this as self-detected stall on CPU:

rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU

To resolve this we will increase the reuse of shadow memory. Doing this we see that a time in the aforementioned usecase dropped from ~40 seconds to ~8-10 seconds.
