Along the way, we do some refactoring and ensure that napi_complete_done() is used in accordance with the NAPI documentation for both GbEth and R-Car code paths. Performance improvment mainly comes from enabling SW IRQ Coalescing for all SoCs using the GbEth IP, and NAPI Threaded mode for single core SoCs using the GbEth IP. These can be enabled/disabled at runtime via sysfs, but our goal is to set sensible defaults which get good performance on the affected SoCs. The performance impact of this series on iperf3 testing is as follows: * RZ/G2L Ethernet throughput is unchanged, but CPU usage drops: * Bidirectional and TCP RX: 6.5% less CPU usage * UDP RX: 10% less CPU usage * RZ/G2UL and RZ/G3S Ethernet throughput is increased for all test cases except UDP TX, which suffers a slight loss: * TCP TX: 32% more throughput * TCP RX: 11% more throughput * UDP TX: 10% less throughput * UDP RX: 10183% more throughput - the previous throughput of 1.06Mbps is what prompted this work. * RZ/G2N CPU usage and Ethernet throughput is unchanged (tested as a representative of the SoCs which use the R-Car based RAVB IP). This series depends on: * "net: ravb: Let IP-specific receive function to interrogate descriptors" v6 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240202084136.3426492-2-claudiu.beznea.uj@bp.renesas.com/ To get the results shown above, you'll also need: * "topology: Set capacity_freq_ref in all cases" https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240117190545.596057-1-vincent.guittot@linaro.org/ * "ravb: Add Rx checksum offload support" v4 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240203142559.130466-2-biju.das.jz@bp.renesas.com/ * "ravb: Add Tx checksum offload support" v4 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240203142559.130466-3-biju.das.jz@bp.renesas.com/ Work in this area will continue, in particular we expect to improve TCP/UDP RX performance further with future changes to RX buffer handling. Changes v1->v2: * Marked as RFC as the series depends on unmerged patches. * Refactored R-Car code paths as well as GbEth code paths. * Updated references to the patches this series depends on.
