The latest Realtek vendor driver and its Windows driver implements a feature called "dynamic ASPM" which can improve performance on it's ethernet NICs. Heiner Kallweit pointed out the potential root cause can be that the buffer is to small for its ASPM exit latency. So bring the dynamic ASPM to r8169 so we can have both nice performance and powersaving at the same time. For the slow/fast alternating traffic pattern, we'll need some real world test to know if we need to lower the dynamic ASPM interval. v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210827171452.217123-1-kai.heng.feng@canonical.com/ v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210819054542.608745-1-kai.heng.feng@canonical.com/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210812155341.817031-1-kai.heng.feng@canonical.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210803152823.515849-1-kai.heng.feng@canonical.com/ Kai-Heng Feng (3): PCI/ASPM: Introduce a new helper to report ASPM capability r8169: Use PCIe ASPM status for NIC ASPM enablement r8169: Implement dynamic ASPM mechanism drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c | 69 ++++++++++++++++++++--- drivers/pci/pcie/aspm.c | 11 ++++ include/linux/pci.h | 2 + 3 files changed, 73 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
