This patch gives the following improvements during testing with iperf3. * RZ/G2UL: * TCP TX: +32% bandwidth (638Mbps -> 841Mbps) * TXP RX: +8.8% bandwidth (667Mbps -> 726Mbps) * UDP RX: +104% bandwidth (53Mbps -> 108Mbps) * RZ/G3S: * TCP TX: 29% bandwidth (529Mbps -> 681Mbps) * UDP RX: +1290% bandwidth (6.46Mbps -> 90Mbps) * RZ/Five: * UDP RX: Test no longer crashes (0 -> 20 Mbps) This patch gives the following reductions in performance in the same testing: * RZ/G2UL: * UDP TX: -7.5% bandwidth (594Mbps -> 549Mbps) * RZ/G3S: * UDP TX: -5% bandwidth (625Mbps -> 594Mbps) These losses are considered acceptable given the benefits shown above. If UDP TX bandwidth must be maximised for a particular use case, NAPI threaded mode can be disabled at runtime via sysfs writes. The improvement of UDP RX bandwidth for the single core SoCs (RZ/G2UL & RZ/G3S) is particularly critical.
