[PATCH net-next v3 0/6] net: xilinx: axienet: Enable adaptive IRQ coalescing with DIM

From: Sean Anderson
Date: Fri Jan 10 2025 - 14:27:37 EST


To improve performance without sacrificing latency under low load,
enable DIM. While I appreciate not having to write the library myself, I
do think there are many unusual aspects to DIM, as detailed in the last
patch.

This series depends on [1].

Changes in v3:
- Fix mismatched parameter name documentation for axienet_calc_cr
- Integrate some cleanups originally included in
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240909230908.1319982-1-sean.anderson@xxxxxxxxx/
- Move spin (un)locking in IRQs inside the if condition of
napi_schedule_prep. This lets us hold the lock just for the rmw.
- Fix function name in doc comments for axienet_update_coalesce_rx/tx
- Adjust axienet_local doc comment order to match the members
- Rebase onto net-next/master

Changes in v2:
- Add some symbolic constants for IRQ delay timer
- Report an error for bad coalesce settings
- Don't use spin_lock_irqsave when we know the context
- Split the CR calculation refactor from runtime coalesce settings
adjustment support for easier review.
- Have axienet_update_coalesce_rx/tx take the cr value/mask instead of
calculating it with axienet_calc_cr. This will make it easier to add
partial updates in the next few commits.
- Get coalesce parameters from driver state
- Don't take the RTNL in axienet_rx_dim_work to avoid deadlock. Instead,
calculate a partial cr update that axienet_update_coalesce_rx can
perform under a spin lock.
- Use READ/WRITE_ONCE when accessing/modifying rx_irqs
