From 3c97f5de1f282492335a6aec1f94b77f7f899b8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajkumar Manoharan Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2016 19:46:09 +0300 Subject: ath10k: implement NAPI support Add NAPI support for rx and tx completion. NAPI poll is scheduled from interrupt handler. The design is as below - on interrupt - schedule napi and mask interrupts - on poll - process all pipes (no actual Tx/Rx) - process Rx within budget - if quota exceeds budget reschedule napi poll by returning budget - process Tx completions and update budget if necessary - process Tx fetch indications (pull-push) - push any other pending Tx (if possible) - before resched or napi completion replenish htt rx ring buffer - if work done < budget, complete napi poll and unmask interrupts This change also get rid of two tasklets (intr_tq and txrx_compl_task). Measured peak throughput with NAPI on IPQ4019 platform in controlled environment. No noticeable reduction in throughput is seen and also observed improvements in CPU usage. Approx. 15% CPU usage got reduced in UDP uplink case.
