Re: [PATCH 1/1] net/mlx5: add dynamic logging for mlx5_dump_err_cqe

Hi Leon,

Thank you for reviewing the patch.

The method you mentioned disables the dump permanently for the kernel.
We thought vendor might have enabled it for their consumption when needed.
Hence we made it dynamic, so that it can be enabled/disabled at run time.

Especially, in a production environment, having the option to turn this
log on/off
at runtime will be helpful.

Feel free to share your thoughts.

Thanks,
Aru
