Hi Leon,

Thank you for the reply and your suggested method to handle this debug
logging.

We set 'dump=2' for the syndromes applicable to our scenario:
MLX5_CQE_SYNDROME_REMOTE_ACCESS_ERR,
MLX5_CQE_SYNDROME_REMOTE_OP_ERR and MLX5_CQE_SYNDROME_LOCAL_PROT_ERR.
We verified this code change and by default, the dump_cqe is not printed
to syslog until
the level is changed to KERN_DEBUG level. This works as expected.

I will send out another email with the patch using your method.

Is it fine with you If I add your name in the 'suggested-by' field in
the new patch?

Thanks
Aru
