When creating a software steering completion queue (CQ), an arbitrary
MSIX vector n is selected. This results in the CQ sharing the same
Ethernet traffic channel n associated with the chosen vector. However,
the value of n is often unpredictable, which can introduce complications
for interrupt monitoring and verification tools.
Moreover, SW steering uses polling rather than event-driven interrupts.
Therefore, there is no need to select any MSIX vector other than the
existing vector 0 for CQ creation.
In light of these factors, and to enhance predictability, we modify the
code to consistently select MSIX vector 0 for CQ creation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
