    igb: Make DMA faster when CPU is active on the PCIe link · 4e0effd9
    Kai-Heng Feng authored
    Intel I210 on some Intel Alder Lake platforms can only achieve ~750Mbps
    Tx speed via iperf. The RR2DCDELAY shows around 0x2xxx DMA delay, which
    will be significantly lower when 1) ASPM is disabled or 2) SoC package
    c-state stays above PC3. When the RR2DCDELAY is around 0x1xxx the Tx
    speed can reach to ~950Mbps.
    
    According to the I210 datasheet "8.26.1 PCIe Misc. Register - PCIEMISC",
    "DMA Idle Indication" doesn't seem to tie to DMA coalesce anymore, so
    set it to 1b for "DMA is considered idle when there is no Rx or Tx AND
    when there are no TLPs indicating that CPU is active detected on the
    PCIe link (such as the host executes CSR or Configuration register read
    or write operation)" and performing Tx should also fall under "active
    CPU on PCIe link" case.
    
    In addition to that, commit b6e0c419 ("igb: Move DMA Coalescing init
    code to separate function.") seems to wrongly changed from enabling
    E1000_PCIEMISC_LX_DECISION to disabling it, also fix that.
    
    Fixes: b6e0c419 ("igb: Move DMA Coalescing init code to separate function.")
