[PATCH net-next v2 1/3] net: ethtool: extend ringparam set/get APIs for tx_push
From: Guangbin Huang
Date: Mon Apr 11 2022 - 22:07:24 EST
From: Jie Wang <wangjie125@xxxxxxxxxx>
Currently tx push is a standard driver feature which controls use of a fast
path descriptor push. So this patch extends the ringparam APIs and data
structures to support set/get tx push by ethtool -G/g.

+``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH`` flag is used to choose the ordinary path or the fast
+path to send packets. In ordinary path, driver fills BDs to DDR memory and
+notifies NIC hardware. In fast path, driver pushes BDs to the device memory
+directly and thus reducing the sending latencies. However, enabling this feature
+may increase the cpu cost. Setting tx push attribute "on" will enable tx push
+mode and send packets in fast path if packet size matches. For those not
+supported hardwares, this attributes is "off" by default settings.
