From 278512665094888d3c007fdd74e090496d6c811d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Schmutzler Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2020 21:53:35 +0200 Subject: kernel: remove support for kernel 4.19 We use 5.4 on all targets by default, and 4.19 has never been released in a stable version. There is no reason to keep it.

Since NAPI poll is bound to the CPU it -was scheduled from, we can easily end up with a few very busy CPUs spending -most of their time in softirq/ksoftirqd and some idle ones. - -Introduce threaded NAPI for such drivers based on a workqueue. The API is the -same except for using netif_threaded_napi_add instead of netif_napi_add. - -In my tests with mt76 on MT7621 using threaded NAPI + a thread for tx scheduling -improves LAN->WLAN bridging throughput by 10-50%. Throughput without threaded -NAPI is wildly inconsistent, depending on the CPU that runs the tx scheduling -thread. - -With threaded NAPI it seems stable and consistent (and higher than the best -results I got without it). - -Based on a patch by Hillf Danton - -Cc: Hillf Danton -Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau ---- - ---- a/include/linux/netdevice.h -+++ b/include/linux/netdevice.h -@@ -339,6 +339,7 @@ struct napi_struct { - struct list_head dev_list; - struct hlist_node napi_hash_node; - unsigned int napi_id; -+ struct work_struct work; - }; - - enum { -@@ -349,6 +350,7 @@ enum { - NAPI_STATE_HASHED, /* In NAPI hash (busy polling possible) */ - NAPI_STATE_NO_BUSY_POLL,/* Do not add in napi_hash, no busy polling */ - NAPI_STATE_IN_BUSY_POLL,/* sk_busy_loop() owns this NAPI */ -+ NAPI_STATE_THREADED, /* Use threaded NAPI */ - }; - - enum { -@@ -359,6 +361,7 @@ enum { - NAPIF_STATE_HASHED = BIT(NAPI_STATE_HASHED), - NAPIF_STATE_NO_BUSY_POLL = BIT(NAPI_STATE_NO_BUSY_POLL), - NAPIF_STATE_IN_BUSY_POLL = BIT(NAPI_STATE_IN_BUSY_POLL), -+ NAPIF_STATE_THREADED = BIT(NAPI_STATE_THREADED), - }; - - enum gro_result { -@@ -2230,6 +2233,26 @@ void netif_napi_add(struct net_device *d - int (*poll)(struct napi_struct *, int), int weight); - - /** -+ * netif_threaded_napi_add - initialize a NAPI context -+ * @dev: network device -+ * @napi: NAPI context -+ * @poll: polling function -+ * @weight: default weight -+ * -+ * This variant of netif_napi_add() should be used from drivers using NAPI -+ * with CPU intensive poll functions. -+ * This will schedule polling from a high priority workqueue -+ */ -+static inline void netif_threaded_napi_add(struct net_device *dev, -+ struct napi_struct *napi, -+ int (*poll)(struct napi_struct *, int), -+ int weight) -+{ -+ set_bit(NAPI_STATE_THREADED, &napi->state); -+ netif_napi_add(dev, napi, poll, weight); -+} -+ -+/** - * netif_tx_napi_add - initialize a NAPI context - * @dev: network device - * @napi: NAPI context ---- a/net/core/dev.c -+++ b/net/core/dev.c -@@ -160,6 +160,7 @@ static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(offload_lock); - struct list_head ptype_base[PTYPE_HASH_SIZE] __read_mostly; - struct list_head ptype_all __read_mostly; /* Taps */ - static struct list_head offload_base __read_mostly; -+static struct workqueue_struct *napi_workq __read_mostly; - - static int netif_rx_internal(struct sk_buff *skb); - static int call_netdevice_notifiers_info(unsigned long val, -@@ -5891,6 +5892,11 @@ void __napi_schedule(struct napi_struct - { - unsigned long flags; - -+ if (test_bit(NAPI_STATE_THREADED, &n->state)) { -+ queue_work(napi_workq, &n->work); -+ return; -+ } -+ - local_irq_save(flags); - ____napi_schedule(this_cpu_ptr(&softnet_data), n); - local_irq_restore(flags); -@@ -5938,6 +5944,11 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(napi_schedule_prep); - */ - void __napi_schedule_irqoff(struct napi_struct *n) - { -+ if (test_bit(NAPI_STATE_THREADED, &n->state)) { -+ queue_work(napi_workq, &n->work); -+ return; -+ } -+ - ____napi_schedule(this_cpu_ptr(&softnet_data), n); - } - EXPORT_SYMBOL(__napi_schedule_irqoff); -@@ -6186,6 +6197,82 @@ static void init_gro_hash(struct napi_st - napi->gro_bitmask = 0; - } - -+static int __napi_poll(struct napi_struct *n, bool *repoll) -+{ -+ int work, weight; -+ -+ weight = n->weight; -+ -+ /* This NAPI_STATE_SCHED test is for avoiding a race -+ * with netpoll's poll_napi().
