With ib_qib options:
options ib_qib krcvqs=1 pcie_caps=0x51 rcvhdrcnt=4096 singleport=1 ibmtu=4
a run of ib_write_bw -a yields the following:

The top cpu use in a profile is:
CPU: Intel Architectural Perfmon, speed 2400.15 MHz (estimated)
Counted CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events (Clock cycles when not halted) with a unit mask
of 0x00 (No unit mask) count 1002300
Counted LLC_MISSES events (Last level cache demand requests from this core that
missed the LLC) with a unit mask of 0x41 (No unit mask) count 10000

Analysis of the stats, profile, the code, and the annotated profile indicate:
- All of the overflow interrupts (one per packet overflow) are
serviced on CPU0 with no mitigation on the frequency.
- All of the receive interrupts are being serviced by CPU0. (That is
the way truescale.cmds statically allocates the kctx IRQs to CPU)
- The code is spending all of its time servicing QIB_I_C_ERROR
RcvEgrFullErr interrupts on CPU0, starving the packet receive
processing.
- The decode_err routine is very inefficient, using a printf variant
to format a "%s" and continues to loop when the errs mask has been
cleared.
- Both qib_7322intr and handle_7322_errors read pci registers, which
is very inefficient.
The fix does the following:
- Adds a tasklet to service QIB_I_C_ERROR
- Replaces the very inefficient scnprintf() with a memcpy(). A field
is added to qib_hwerror_msgs to save the sizeof("string") at
compile time so that a strlen is not needed during err_decode().
- The most frequent errors (Overflows) are serviced first to exit the
loop as early as possible.
- The loop now exits as soon as the errs mask is clear rather than
fruitlessly looping through the msp array.
With this fix the performance changes to:
------------------------------------------------------------------
#bytes #iterations BW peak[MB/sec] BW average[MB/sec]
1048576 5000 2990.64 2941.35
------------------------------------------------------------------
During testing of the error handling overflow patch, it was determined
that some CPU's were slower when servicing both overflow and receive
interrupts on CPU0 with different MSI interrupt vectors.
This patch adds an option (krcvq01_no_msi) to not use a dedicated MSI
interrupt for kctx's < 2 and to service them on the default interrupt.
For some CPUs, the cost of the interrupt enter/exit is more costly
than then the additional PCI read in the default handler.
