[PATCH net-next v3 0/7] bcm63xx_enet: major makeover of driver

[PATCH net-next v3 0/7] bcm63xx_enet: major makeover of driver

[Sieng Piaw Liew]

This patch series aim to improve the bcm63xx_enet driver by integrating the
latest networking features, i.e. batched rx processing, BQL, build_skb,
etc.

The newer enetsw SoCs are found to be able to do unaligned rx DMA by adding
NET_IP_ALIGN padding which, combined with these patches, improved packet
processing performance by ~50% on BCM6328.

Older non-enetsw SoCs still benefit mainly from rx batching. Performance
improvement of ~30% is observed on BCM6333.

The BCM63xx SoCs are designed for routers. As such, having BQL is
beneficial as well as trivial to add.

v3:
* Simplify xmit_more patch by not moving around the code needlessly.
* Fix indentation in xmit_more patch.
* Fix indentation in build_skb patch.
* Split rx ring cleanup patch from build_skb patch and precede build_skb
  patch for better understanding, as suggested by Florian Fainelli.

v2:
* Add xmit_more support and rx loop improvisation patches.
* Moved BQL netdev_reset_queue() to bcm_enet_stop()/bcm_enetsw_stop()
  functions as suggested by Florian Fainelli.
* Improved commit messages.

Sieng Piaw Liew (7):
  bcm63xx_enet: batch process rx path
  bcm63xx_enet: add BQL support
  bcm63xx_enet: add xmit_more support
  bcm63xx_enet: alloc rx skb with NET_IP_ALIGN
  bcm63xx_enet: consolidate rx SKB ring cleanup code
  bcm63xx_enet: convert to build_skb
  bcm63xx_enet: improve rx loop

[PATCH net-next v3 1/7] bcm63xx_enet: batch process rx path

[Sieng Piaw Liew]

Use netif_receive_skb_list to batch process rx skb.
Tested on BCM6328 320 MHz using iperf3 -M 512, increasing performance
by 12.5%.

[PATCH net-next v3 4/7] bcm63xx_enet: alloc rx skb with NET_IP_ALIGN

[Sieng Piaw Liew]

Use netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align on newer SoCs with integrated switch
(enetsw) when refilling RX. Increases packet processing performance
by 30% (with netif_receive_skb_list).

Non-enetsw SoCs cannot function with the extra pad so continue to use
the regular netdev_alloc_skb.

Tested on BCM6328 320 MHz and iperf3 -M 512 to measure packet/sec
performance.

[PATCH net-next v3 6/7] bcm63xx_enet: convert to build_skb

[Sieng Piaw Liew]

We can increase the efficiency of rx path by using buffers to receive
packets then build SKBs around them just before passing into the network
stack. In contrast, preallocating SKBs too early reduces CPU cache
efficiency.

Check if we're in NAPI context when refilling RX. Normally we're almost
always running in NAPI context. Dispatch to napi_alloc_frag directly
instead of relying on netdev_alloc_frag which does the same but
with the overhead of local_bh_disable/enable.

Tested on BCM6328 320 MHz and iperf3 -M 512 to measure packet/sec
performance. Included netif_receive_skb_list and NET_IP_ALIGN
optimizations.

[PATCH net-next v3 7/7] bcm63xx_enet: improve rx loop

[Sieng Piaw Liew]

Use existing rx processed count to track against budget, thereby making
budget decrement operation redundant.

rx_desc_count can be calculated outside the rx loop, making the loop a
bit smaller.

Thanks for addressing the feedback given, for patches that have not
changed, please carry forward any tag you have been given (Reviewed-by,
Acked-by, etc.) such that we don't have to reply to those patches again.
