doc: remove obsolete vector Tx explanations from mlx5 guide
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ upstream commit 9c7dc70 ]

Vectorized routines were removed in result of Tx datapath refactoring,
and devarg keys documentation was updated.

However, more updating should have been done. In environment variables
doc, there was explanation according to vectorized Tx which isn't
relevant anymore.

This patch removes this irrelevant explanation.

Fixes: a6bd491 ("net/mlx5: remove Tx implementation")

The register would be flushed to HW usually when the write-combining buffer
becomes full, but it depends on CPU design.

Except for vectorized Tx burst routines, a write memory barrier is enforced
after updating the register so that the update can be immediately visible to
HW.

When vectorized Tx burst is called, the barrier is set only if the burst size
is not aligned to MLX5_VPMD_TX_MAX_BURST. However, setting this environmental
variable will bring better latency even though the maximum throughput can
slightly decline.
