Do you observe better RX performance ? For me, without this patch, iperf3 -R did ~4 Mbit/s on iwlwifi AP running hostap in 802.11n mode (wpa2 tkip), with this patch I see 40 Mbit/s (10x better, yes). However, the poor rx performance did depend on the kernel configuration (HZ, preemption settings) before, now it does not.

The interrupt handling of the RS911x is particularly heavy. For each RX packet, the card does three SDIO transactions, one to read interrupt status register, one to RX buffer length, one to read the RX packet(s). This translates to ~330 uS per one cycle of interrupt handler. In case there is more incoming traffic, this will be more. The drivers/mmc/core/sdio_irq.c has the following comment, quote "Just like traditional hard IRQ handlers, we expect SDIO IRQ handlers to be quick and to the point, so that the holding of the host lock does not cover too much work that doesn't require that lock to be held." The RS911x interrupt handler does not fit that. This patch therefore changes it such that the entire IRQ handler is moved to the RX thread instead, and the interrupt handler only wakes the RX thread. This is OK, because the interrupt handler only does things which can also be done in the RX thread, that is, it checks for firmware loading error(s), it checks buffer status, it checks whether a packet arrived and if so, reads out the packet and passes it to network stack. Moreover, this change permits removal of a code which allocated an skbuff only to get 4-byte-aligned buffer, read up to 8kiB of data into the skbuff, queue this skbuff into local private queue, then in RX thread, this buffer is dequeued, the data in the skbuff as passed to the RSI driver core, and the skbuff is deallocated. All this is replaced by directly calling the RSI driver core with local buffer. Signed-off-by: Marek Vasut <marex@denx.de> Cc: Angus Ainslie <angus@akkea.ca> Cc: David S.
