Subject: [PATCH 0/1] hidraw: Improve subsytem throughput
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2021 10:29:56 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211130132957.8480-1-andrealmeid@collabora.com> (raw)

Hi,

In a discussion about SteamVR for Linux[0], users found out that
modifying hidraw code would lead to more stable frame per seconds. This
patch aims to fix a bottleneck at hidraw subsystem to increase the
system throughput when using a lot of HIDs at same time.

I created an artificial benchmark tool[1] to test this. It issues a lot of
ioctls in parallel for 5 HID devices. While the original kernel took
around 1570 nsecs to complete all the calls, after applying this patch
it took around 412 nsecs, almost 4x faster.

Thanks,
	André
