NAPI Threaded mode (along with the previously enabled SW IRQ Coalescing) is required to improve network stack performance for single core SoCs using the GbEth IP (currently the RZ/G2L SoC family and the RZ/G3S SoC). For the RZ/G2UL, network throughput is greatly increased by this change (results obtained with iperf3) for all test cases except UDP TX: * TCP TX: 30% more throughput * TCP RX: 9.8% more throughput * UDP TX: 9.7% less throughput * UDP RX: 89% more throughput For the RZ/G3S we see improvements in network throughput similar to the RZ/G2UL. The improvement of UDP RX bandwidth for the single core SoCs (RZ/G2UL & RZ/G3S) is particularly critical. NAPI Threaded mode can be disabled at runtime via sysfs for applications where UDP TX performance is a priority.
