Hello!

I've seen performance patches were commited so I've decided to give it
a try (using 4.1 kernel and backports).
The results are quite disappointing: TCP download (client pov) dropped
from 750Mbps to ~550 and UDP shows completely weird behavour - if
generating 900Mbps it gives 30Mbps max, if generating 300Mbps it gives
250Mbps, before (latest official backports release from January) I was
able to get 900Mbps.
Hardware is basically ap152 + qca988x 3x3.
When running perf top I see that fq_codel_drop eats a lot of cpu.
Here is the output when running iperf3 UDP test:

    45.78%  [kernel]       [k] fq_codel_drop
     3.05%  [kernel]       [k] ag71xx_poll

     0.67%  [kernel]       [k] __copy_user_common
     0.66%  [kernel]       [k] __skb_flow_dissect
     0.65%  [ath10k_core]  [k] ath10k_txrx_tx_unref
     0.60%  [kernel]       [k] kmem_cache_alloc
     0.60%  [mac80211]     [k] sta_addr_hash
     0.56%  [kernel]       [k] fq_codel_dequeue
     0.53%  [kernel]       [k] __local_bh_enable_ip
     0.50%  [kernel]       [k] __br_fdb_get

What could be the reason?
I've seen there are some patches from Michal which touch fq_codel,
would those help or not?


Regards,
Roman
