Looking only at the code, and lacking the NIC specs, the two alternative look functionally equivalent. Performance wise it could matter. It depends on the relative cost of ISR+memory barriers vs restarting TX - removing txubr_pending you will trade the former for the latter. I guess the easier way to check is doing performance comparisons with the 2 options. I hope you have the relevant H/W handy ;) Thanks, Paolo

Then we wouldn't need this txubr_pending flag at > all. CCing Tomas Melin who worked on this tx_restart code recently. Not sure could this cause some semantic change on how this restarting gets handled by the hardware. Only looking at the patch it looks like it might be possible to call it unconditionally. But should there anyways be some condition for the tx side handling, as I suppose macb_poll() runs when there is rx interrupt even if tx side has nothing to process?

Not sure how it should be done, but it would be nice if TCOMP would rather be known on per queue basis. Related note, rx side function seems to be named as macb_rx_pending(), should be similary macb_tx_pending()?

Originally I thought there might be a correctness issue with calling it unconditionally, but looking at it further I don't think there really is. The FreeBSD driver for this hardware also seems to always do the TX restart in the interrupt handler if there are packets in the TX queue. I think the only real issue is whether it's better performance wise to do it all the time rather than only after the hardware asserts a TXUBR interrupt. I expect it would be worse to do it all the time, as that would mean an extra MMIO read, spinlock, MMIO read and MMIO write, versus just a read barrier and checking a flag in memory. > > But should there anyways be some condition for the tx side handling, as > I suppose macb_poll() runs when there is rx interrupt even if tx side > has nothing to process? I opted not to do that for this case, as it should be pretty harmless and cheap to just check the TX ring to see if any packets have been completed yet, rather than actually tracking if a TX completion was pending.

I think this scenario would already have been a problem if it were possible - i.e. when we detect the TCOMP interrupt was asserted, it has likely already started sending the next frame in the ring when we are processing the ring entries, so if a TX_USED bit was set in the middle of a frame we would potentially already have been acting on it and likely breaking? So it seems like a safe assumption that this doesn't happen, as it that would make it very difficult for the driver to tell when a frame was actually done or not.. > > Related note, rx side function seems to be named as macb_rx_pending(), > should be similary macb_tx_pending()? I thought that naming might be a bit misleading, as in the TX case we are not only interested in whether frames are pending (i.e. in the TX ring to be sent) but also there are completed frames in the ring that have not been processed yet. > > > Thanks, > Tomas > > > > +{ > > + if (queue->tx_head != queue->tx_tail) { > > + /* Make hw descriptor updates visible to CPU */ > > + rmb(); > > + > > + if (macb_tx_desc(queue, queue->tx_tail)->ctrl & > > MACB_BIT(TX_USED)) > > + return true; > > + } > > + return false; > > +} > > + > > +static void macb_tx_complete(struct macb_queue *queue, int budget) > > { > > unsigned int tail; > > unsigned int head; > > - u32 status; > > struct macb *bp = queue->bp; > > u16 queue_index = queue - bp->queues; > > > > - status = macb_readl(bp, TSR); > > - macb_writel(bp, TSR, status); > > - > > - if (bp->caps & MACB_CAPS_ISR_CLEAR_ON_WRITE) > > - queue_writel(queue, ISR, MACB_BIT(TCOMP)); > > - > > - netdev_vdbg(bp->dev, "macb_tx_interrupt status = 0x%03lx\n", > > - (unsigned long)status); > > - > > head = queue->tx_head; > > for (tail = queue->tx_tail; tail != head; tail++) { > > struct macb_tx_skb *tx_skb; > > @@ -1182,7 +1186,7 @@ static void macb_tx_interrupt(struct macb_queue > > *queue) > > } > > > > /* Now we can safely release resources */ > > - macb_tx_unmap(bp, tx_skb); > > + macb_tx_unmap(bp, tx_skb, budget); > > > > /* skb is set only for the last buffer of the frame. > > * WARNING: at this point skb has been freed by > > @@ -1569,23 +1573,55 @@ static bool macb_rx_pending(struct macb_queue > > *queue) > > return (desc->addr & MACB_BIT(RX_USED)) != 0; > > } > > > > +static void macb_tx_restart(struct macb_queue *queue) > > +{ > > + unsigned int head = queue->tx_head; > > + unsigned int tail = queue->tx_tail; > > + struct macb *bp = queue->bp; > > + unsigned int head_idx, tbqp; > > + > > + if (head == tail) > > + return; > > + > > + tbqp = queue_readl(queue, TBQP) / macb_dma_desc_get_size(bp); > > + tbqp = macb_adj_dma_desc_idx(bp, macb_tx_ring_wrap(bp, tbqp)); > > + head_idx = macb_adj_dma_desc_idx(bp, macb_tx_ring_wrap(bp, head)); > > + > > + if (tbqp == head_idx) > > + return; > > + > > + spin_lock_irq(&bp->lock); > > + macb_writel(bp, NCR, macb_readl(bp, NCR) | MACB_BIT(TSTART)); > > + spin_unlock_irq(&bp->lock); > > +} > > + > > static int macb_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) > > { > > struct macb_queue *queue = container_of(napi, struct macb_queue, napi); > > struct macb *bp = queue->bp; > > int work_done; > > > > + macb_tx_complete(queue, budget); > > + > > + rmb(); // ensure txubr_pending is up to date > > + if (queue->txubr_pending) { > > + queue->txubr_pending = false; > > + netdev_vdbg(bp->dev, "poll: tx restart\n"); > > + macb_tx_restart(queue); > > + } > > + > > work_done = bp->macbgem_ops.mog_rx(queue, napi, budget); > > > > netdev_vdbg(bp->dev, "poll: queue = %u, work_done = %d, budget = %d\n", > > (unsigned int)(queue - bp->queues), work_done, budget); > > > > if (work_done < budget && napi_complete_done(napi, work_done)) { > > - queue_writel(queue, IER, bp->rx_intr_mask); > > + queue_writel(queue, IER, bp->rx_intr_mask | > > + MACB_BIT(TCOMP)); > > > > /* Packet completions only seem to propagate to raise > > * interrupts when interrupts are enabled at the time, so if > > - * packets were received while interrupts were disabled, > > + * packets were sent/received while interrupts were disabled, > > * they will not cause another interrupt to be generated when > > * interrupts are re-enabled. > > * Check for this case here to avoid losing a wakeup.

I hope you have the relevant H/W handy ;) I've done some benchmarks with this under a moderate TX load (about 600 Mbps) on the Xilinx ZynqMP platform. It looks like the softirq CPU usage is a few percent higher when doing an unconditional TX restart (around 52% vs. 48-50% with the code as submitted). So it's not earth shattering or highly conclusive either way, but it seems the way I had it is likely more efficient. > > Thanks, > > Paolo >

The consideration was that TCOMP and TX_USED are as such separate interrupts, so TX_USED can be asserted even though there is no TCOMP. Mixing terminology could become confusing here. I.e. IMHO tx_complete_pending should check if there is TCOMP pending and txubr_pending TX_USED. > >> >> Related note, rx side function seems to be named as macb_rx_pending(), >> should be similary macb_tx_pending()? > > I thought that naming might be a bit misleading, as in the TX case we are not > only interested in whether frames are pending (i.e. in the TX ring to be sent) > but also there are completed frames in the ring that have not been processed > yet. Wouldn't tx_pending() describe that better then? :) (That there is tx side operations pending to be processed.)

That seems to be the > standard practice in some other drivers (r8169, etc.) In this implementation the TX interrupt bit is being cleared and TX processing is scheduled when there is an RX interrupt as well as vice versa. Could you please consider using the check "status & MACB_BIT(TCOMP)" for TX interrupt and NAPI? If I understand your reply above right, you mention that the above check is more expensive than parsing the TX ring for new data. In unbalanced traffic scenarios i.e. server only or client only, will this be efficient? Regards, Harini

I think my explanation was unclear: in this case only care about whether TX packets have been completed.

In the v2 of this patch set I'm about to submit, I'm splitting the NAPI structures so that TX and RX have their own poll functions, which avoids the need for any redundant checks of the state of the other ring (TX or RX) when not triggered by an interrupt. > > Regards, > Harini

This driver was using the TX IRQ handler to perform all TX completion tasks. Under heavy TX network load, this can cause significant irqs-off latencies (found to be in the hundreds of microseconds using ftrace). This can cause other issues, such as overrunning serial UART FIFOs when using high baud rates with limited UART FIFO sizes. Switch to using the NAPI poll handler to perform the TX completion work to get this out of hard IRQ context and avoid the IRQ latency impact. The TX Used Bit Read interrupt (TXUBR) handling also needs to be moved into the NAPI poll handler to maintain the proper order of operations. A flag is used to notify the poll handler that a UBR condition needs to be handled. The macb_tx_restart handler has had some locking added for global register access, since this could now potentially happen concurrently on different queues.
