Here we remove an old requirement on operations ordering that became obsolete on recent capable devices. This helps cutting the downtime by a factor of magnitude, ~80% in our example. Perf numbers: Measured the number of dropped packets in a simple ping flood test, during a configuration change operation, that switches the number of channels from 247 to 248. Before: 71 packets lost After: 15 packets lost, ~80% saving. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/1761831159-1013140-1-git-send-email-tariqt@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- b117befe8afde52fe8d961e763b54bf907950b30
