This patch adds support for adaptive interrupt coalescing. For small pkts with low pkt rate, we can decrease the coalescing interrupt dynamically which decreases the latency. This however increases the cpu utilization. Based on testing with different coal intr and pkt rate we came up with a table(mod_table) with rx_rate and coalescing interrupt value where we get low latency without significant increase in cpu. mod_table table stores the coalescing timer percentage value for different throughputs. Function enic_calc_int_moderation() calculates the desired coalescing intr timer value. This function is called in driver rx napi_poll. The actual value is set by enic_set_int_moderation() which is called when napi_poll is complete. i.e when we unmask the rx intr. Adaptive coal intr is support only when driver is using msix intr. Because intr is not shared. Struct mod_range is used to store only the default adaptive coalescing intr value. Adaptive coal intr calue is calculated by timer = range_start + ((rx_coal->range_end - range_start) * mod_table[index].range_percent / 100); rx_coal->range_end is the rx-usecs-high value set using ethtool. range_start is rx-usecs-low, set using ethtool, if rx_small_pkt_bytes_cnt is greater than 2 * rx_large_pkt_bytes_cnt. i.e small pkts are dominant. Else its rx-usecs-low + 3.

This patch moves data allocated using kzalloc to managed data allocated using devm_kzalloc and cleans now unnecessary kfrees in probe and remove functions. An explicit linux/device.h include is added to make sure the devm_*() routine declarations are unambiguously available. The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used for making the change: @platform@ identifier p, probefn, removefn; @@ struct platform_driver p = { .probe = probefn, .remove = removefn, }; @prb@ identifier platform.probefn, pdev; expression e, e1, e2; @@ probefn(struct platform_device *pdev, ...) { <+... - e = kzalloc(e1, e2) + e = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, e1, e2) ... ?-kfree(e); ...+> } @rem depends on prb@ identifier platform.removefn; expression e; @@ removefn(...) { <... - kfree(e); ...> } Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi <himangi774@gmail.com> Acked-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

tun_do_read always adds current thread to wait queue, even if a packet is ready to read. This is inefficient because both sleeper and waker want to acquire the wait queue spin lock when packet rate is high. We restructure the read function and use common kernel networking routines to handle receive, sleep and wakeup. With the change available packets are checked first before the reading thread is added to the wait queue. Ran performance tests with the following configuration: - my packet generator -> tap1 -> br0 -> tap0 -> my packet consumer - sender pinned to one core and receiver pinned to another core - sender send small UDP packets (64 bytes total) as fast as it can - sandy bridge cores - throughput are receiver side goodput numbers The results are baseline: 731k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.50 cpus changed: 783k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.53 cpus The performance difference is largely determined by packet rate and inter-cpu communication cost. For example, if the sender and receiver are pinned to different cpu sockets, the results are baseline: 558k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.71 cpus changed: 690k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.67 cpus Co-authored-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Xi Wang <xii@google.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

The upper timer_interval limit is arbitrary and much higher than anything usable in the real world. Reducing it from 15s to ~4s to make the timer_interval fit in an u32 does not make much difference. The limit is still outside the practical bounds. This eliminates the need for a 64bit timer_interval, fixing a build error related to 64bit division: drivers/built-in.o: In function `cdc_ncm_get_coalesce': ak8975.c:(.text+0x1ac994): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod' Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S.

In contrast to the direct access to the single SFF frame filters (which are indexed by the SFF CAN ID itself) the single EFF frame filters are arranged in a single linked hlist.

Bjørn Mork says: ==================== cdc_ncm: add buffer tuning and stats using ethtool Quoting the previous description of this series (skip to the changelog below if you only want a summary of the changes): "I have got quite a few reports from frustrated users of OpenWRT hosts trying to use some powerful LTE modem, but not achieving full speed. This is typically caused by a combination of big buffers and little memory, giving in allocation errors and bad performance as a result. This series is an attempt to let users adjust the size of these buffers without having to rebuild the driver. Patches 1 - 4 are mostly rearranging existing code, in preparing for the dynamic buffer size changes. Patch 5 adds userspace control (ab)using the ethtool coalescing API. This isn't a perfect match, which is the main reason why I post this series as a RFC. Patch 6 is an unrelated framing optimization, reducing the overhead quite a bit and allowing for better use of smaller buffers. Patch 7 changes the way we calculate frame padding cutoff. The problem with big buffers is made much worse by the current padding strategy where zero padding often can account for more than 90% of the frames. Patch 8 add some counters giving some insight into how well the NCM/MBIM protocol works, supporting further tuning. Patch 9 reduce the initial maximum buffer size from 32kB to 16kB in an attempt to make the default better suit all. It is still possible to tune this up again to the old fixed max, using the new tuning knobs. I must admit that I had higher hopes for this series before I tested it on my own modems. One really unexpected result was that one of the MBIM modems accepted the new rx buffer size we set, but happily continued sending buffers of the same size as before. Needless to say: This did not work very well... So don't really expect to be able to use any values with any given device. Firmware implementations are still... I don't think I have words suitable for a public mailing list. But I am hoping this will help the many users who have had success rebuilding the driver with lower fixed limits. Please test and/or comment!" Changes: ** RFC -> v1 ** Patch 10 - a follow-up to a comment Joe Perches made in November 2013. I don't always forget :-) Patch 11 - removes the redundant "connected" driver state, and the associated .check_connect callbacks. ** v1 -> v2 ** Patch 1 - Better handling of minium rx buffer size, based on feedback from Oliver Neukum and Enrico Mioso Patch 5 - fixed locking around timer interval update Patch 9 - fixed whitespace error Patch 12 - new fix related to the tuneable tx timer ...and spelling fixes all over the commit messages. I have finally added a spelling hook, which I'm sure may of you will appreciate :-) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Lots of devices request much larger buffers than reasonable. This cause real problems for users of hosts with limited resources.

To have an idea of the effects of the protocol coalescing it's useful to have some counters showing the different aspects. Due to the asymmetrical usbnet interface the netdev rx_bytes counter has been counting real received payload, while the tx_bytes counter has included the NCM/MBIM framing overhead. This overhead can be many times the payload because of the aggressive padding strategy of this driver, and will vary a lot depending on device and traffic. With very few exceptions, users are only interested in the payload size. Having an somewhat accurate payload byte counter is particularly important for mobile broadband devices, which many NCM devices and of course all MBIM devices are. Users and userspace applications will use this counter to monitor account quotas. Having protocol specific counters for the overhead, we are now able to correct the tx_bytes netdev counter so that it shows the real payload Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S.

We pad frames larger than X to maximum size for devices which don't need a ZLP after maximum sized frames. This allows the device to optimize its transfers for one fixed buffer size. X was arbitrarily set at 512 bytes regardless of real buffer maximum, causing extreme overheads due to excessive padding of larger tx buffers. Limit the padding to at most 3 full USB packets, still allowing the overhead to payload ratio of 3/1. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
