Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net: core: use listified Rx for GRO_NORMAL in napi_gro_receive()
Hi Dave,
This series was written as a continuation to commit 323ebb61e32b
("net: use listified RX for handling GRO_NORMAL skbs"), and also takes
an advantage of listified Rx for GRO. This time, however, we're
targeting at a way more common and used function, napi_gro_receive().
There are about ~100 call sites of this function, including gro_cells
and mac80211, so even wireless systems will benefit from it.
The only driver that cares about the return value is
ethernet/socionext/netsec, and only for updating statistics. I don't
believe that this change can break its functionality, but anyway,
we have plenty of time till next merge window to pay this change
a proper attention.
Besides having this functionality implemented for napi_gro_frags()
users, the main reason is the solid performance boost that has been
shown during tests on 1-core MIPS board (with not yet mainlined
driver):
* no batching (5.4-rc2): ~450/450 Mbit/s
* with gro_normal_batch == 8: ~480/480 Mbit/s
* with gro_normal_batch == 16: ~500/500 Mbit/s
Applies on top of net-next.
Thanks.
