From 8fce3331702316d4bcfeb0771c09ac75d2192bbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jose Abreu Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2018 09:22:56 +0100 Subject: net: stmmac: Rework coalesce timer and fix multi-queue races This follows David Miller advice and tries to fix coalesce timer in multi-queue scenarios. We are now using per-queue coalesce values and per-queue TX timer. Coalesce timer default values was changed to 1ms and the coalesce frames to 25. Tested in B2B setup between XGMAC2 and GMAC5.

This capture can last for unlimited amount of time, since one cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load. It seems that all networking drivers that do use NAPI for their TX completions, should not provide a ndo_poll_controller(). NAPI drivers have netpoll support already handled in core networking stack, since netpoll_poll_dev() uses poll_napi(dev) to iterate through registered NAPI contexts for a device. This patch allows netpoll_poll_dev() to process NAPI contexts even for drivers not providing ndo_poll_controller(), allowing for following patches in NAPI drivers. Also we export netpoll_poll_dev() so that it can be called by bonding/team drivers in following patches. Reported-by: Song Liu Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Tested-by: Song Liu Signed-off-by: David S.
