Thanks, Manikanta
I am always interested in flent.org tcp_nup, tcp_ndown, and rrul_be tests on wifi hardware. In AP mode, especially, against a few clients in rtt_fair on the "ending the anomaly" test suite at the bottom of this link: https://www.cs.kau.se/tohojo/airtime-fairness/ . Of these, it's trying to optimize bandwidth more fairly and keep latencies low when 4 or more stations are trying to transmit (in a world with 16 or more stations online), that increasingly bothers me the most. I'm seeing 5+ seconds on some rtt_fair-like tests nowadays. I was also seeing huge simultaneous upload vs download disparities on the latest kernels, on various threads over here: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/aql-and-the-ath10k-is-lovely/59002 and more recently here: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/reducing-multiplexing-latencies-still-further-in-wifi/133605 I don't understand why napi with the default budget (64) is even needed on the ath10k, as a single txop takes a minimum of ~200us, but perhaps your patch will help. Still, measuring the TCP statistics in-band would be nice to see. Some new tools are appearing that can do this, Apple's goresponsiveness, crusader... that are simpler to use than flent.

Just so that I am clear, are you suggesting to enable this by default in snoc.c, similar to what you did in https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220905071805.31625-2-quic_mpubbise@quicinc.com/ . If my understanding is correct and there is no objection, I can remove hw_param and enable it by default on snoc.c . I used hw_param because, as I see it, threaded NAPI can have some adverse effect on the cache utilization and power. Thanks Abhishek > > Thanks, > Manikanta

A way to check that is to run wireshark on your test client driving the test, capture the iperf traffic, and then plot the "Statistics->TCP stream statistics for both throughput and rtt. Would it be possible for you to do that and put up those plots somewhere? The worst case test is a tcp bidirectional test which I don't know if older iperfs can do. (iperf2 has new bounceback and bidir tests) Ideally stuff going in either direction, would not look as horrible, as it did, back in 2016, documented in this linuxplumbers presentation here: https://blog.linuxplumbersconf.org/2016/ocw/system/presentations/3963/original/linuxplumbers_wifi_latency-3Nov.pdf and discussed on lwn, here: https://lwn.net/Articles/705884/ I worry about folk achieving slightly better tcp throughput at the expense of clobbering in-tcp-stream latency. Back then we were shooting for no more than 40ms extra latency under load on this chip, down from (unusable) seconds. Presently elsewhere, on other chips, we're getting 8ms with stuff that's not in tree for the ath10k, there is a slight cost in single stream throughput but when multiple streams are in use, on multiple stations, things like web pages fly, irrespective of load. > ==================================================== > > > > > On Tue, Dec 20, 2022 at 12:17 AM Abhishek Kumar <kuabhs@chromium.org> wrote: > > > > > > NAPI poll can be done in threaded context along with soft irq > > > context.

thx for leaning in bob! (for those of you that don't know, he's the iperf2 maintainer, and if you haven't updated your distro/os/test environment to 2.1.8 that came out in august, yet there's all kinds of nifty new stuff in there: https://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf2 - too much to list, and the -i 1 -e option is just the start of it.... Iperf2's principal flaw is that people think iperf3 is the successor to it, and no, they are very different codebases, with very different features. iperf = iperf2, for most, but not all.

It's safe to call dev_set_threaded() in ath10k_snoc_hif_start() unconditionally as it only affects WCN3990.
Thanks for all the comments. I will call dev_set_threaded() directly without HW params and rollout a v2 soon.

NAPI poll can be done in threaded context along with soft irq context. Threaded context can be scheduled efficiently, thus creating less of bottleneck during Rx processing. This patch is to enable threaded NAPI on ath10k driver. Based on testing, it was observed that on WCN3990, the CPU0 reaches 100% utilization when napi runs in softirq context. At the same time the other CPUs are at low consumption percentage. This does not allow device to reach its maximum throughput potential. After enabling threaded napi, CPU load is balanced across all CPUs and following improvments were observed: - UDP_RX increase by ~22-25% - TCP_RX increase by ~15% Tested-on: WCN3990 hw1.0 SNOC WLAN.HL.3.2.2-00696-QCAHLSWMTPL-1 Signed-off-by: Abhishek Kumar <kuabhs@chromium.org> --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.c | 16 ++++++++++++++++ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/hw.h | 2 ++ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/snoc.c | 3 +++ 3 files changed, 21 insertions(+)
