[PATCH net-next 0/3] net: dqs: optimize if stall threshold is not set
From: Breno Leitao
Date: Thu Apr 04 2024 - 11:00:26 EST
Here are three patches aimed at enhancing the Dynamic Queue Limit (DQL)
subsystem within the networking stack.
The first two commits involve code refactoring, while the final patch
introduces the actual change.
Typically, when DQL is enabled, stall information is always populated
through dql_queue_stall(). However, this information is only necessary
if a stall threshold is set, which is stored in struct dql->stall_thrs.
Although dql_queue_stall() is relatively inexpensive, it is not entirely
free due to memory barriers and similar overheads.
To optimize performance, refrain from calling dql_queue_stall() when no
stall threshold is set, thus avoiding the processing of unnecessary
information.

net: dql: Avoid calling BUG() when WARN() is enough
net: dql: Separate queue function responsibilities
net: dql: Optimize stall information population
