2018-11-22net/dim: Update DIM start sample after each DIM iterationTal Gilboa1-0/+2
On every iteration of net_dim, the algorithm may choose to check for the system state by comparing current data sample with previous data sample. After each of these comparison, regardless of the action taken, the sample used as baseline is needed to be updated. This patch fixes a bug that causes DIM to take wrong decisions, due to never updating the baseline sample for comparison between iterations. This way, DIM always compares current sample with zeros. Although this is a functional fix, it also improves and stabilizes performance as the algorithm works properly now. Performance: Tested single UDP TX stream with pktgen: samples/pktgen/pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh -i p4p2 -d 1.1.1.1 -m 24:8a:07:88:26:8b -f 3 -b 128 ConnectX-5 100GbE packet rate improved from 15-19Mpps to 19-20Mpps. Also, toggling between profiles is less frequent with the fix.

2018-08-22include/linux/bitops.h: introduce BITS_PER_TYPEChris Wilson1-1/+0
net_dim.h has a rather useful extension to BITS_PER_BYTE to compute the number of bits in a type (BITS_PER_BYTE * sizeof(T)), so promote the macro to bitops.h, alongside BITS_PER_BYTE, for wider usage.

2018-04-24net/dim: Support adaptive TX moderationTal Gilboa1-13/+50
Interrupt moderation for TX traffic requires different profiles than RX interrupt moderation. The main goal here is to reduce interrupt rate and allow better payload aggregation by keeping SKBs in the TX queue a bit longer. Ping-pong behavior would get a profile with a short timer, so latency wouldn't increase for these scenarios. There might be a slight degradation in bandwidth for single stream with large message sizes, since net.ipv4.tcp_limit_output_bytes is limiting the allowed TX traffic, but with many streams performance is always improved.

2018-03-30net/dim: Fix int overflowTal Gilboa1-1/+1
When calculating difference between samples, the values are multiplied by 100. Large values may cause int overflow when multiplied (usually on first iteration). Fixed by forcing 100 to be of type unsigned long.

2018-01-19net/dim: Fix fixpoint divide exception in net_dim_stats_compareTalat Batheesh1-0/+7
Helmut reported a bug about devision by zero while running traffic and doing physical cable pull test. When the cable unplugged the ppms become zero, so when dividing the current ppms by the previous ppms in the next dim iteration there is devision by zero. This patch prevent this division for both ppms and epms.

2018-01-10net/mlx5e: Move dynamic interrupt coalescing code to include/linuxAndy Gospodarek1-0/+377
This move allows drivers to add private structure elements to track the number of packets, bytes, and interrupts events per ring. A driver also defines a workqueue handler to act on this collected data once per poll and modify the coalescing parameters per ring.
