From ba27b4cdaaa66561aaedb2101876e563738d36fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Abeni Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2019 16:01:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: dev: introduce support for sch BYPASS for lockless qdisc With commit c5ad119fb6c0 ("net: sched: pfifo_fast use skb_array") pfifo_fast no longer benefit from the TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS optimization. Due to retpolines the cost of the enqueue()/dequeue() pair has become relevant and we observe measurable regression for the uncontended scenario when the packet-rate is below line rate. After commit 46b1c18f9deb ("net: sched: put back q.qlen into a single location") we can check for empty qdisc with a reasonably fast operation even for nolock qdiscs. This change extends TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS support to nolock qdisc. The new chunk of code mirrors closely the existing one for traditional qdisc, leveraging a newly introduced helper to read atomically the qdisc length. Tested with pktgen in queue xmit mode, with pfifo_fast, a MQ device, and MQ root qdisc: threads vanilla patched kpps kpps 1 2465 2889 2 4304 5188 4 7898 9589 Same as above, but with a single queue device: threads vanilla patched kpps kpps 1 2556 2827 2 2900 2900 4 5000 5000 8 4700 4700 No mesaurable changes in the contended scenarios, and more 10% improvement in the uncontended ones. v1 -> v2: - rebased after flag name change Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Tested-by: Ivan Vecera Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: Ivan Vecera Signed-off-by: David S.
