Subject: Re: [PATCH] ena: Speed up initialization 90x by reducing poll delays


On 2/28/20, 4:29 PM, "Josh Triplett" <josh@...htriplett.org> wrote:

    Before initializing completion queue interrupts, the ena driver uses
    polling to wait for responses on the admin command queue. The ena driver
    waits 5ms between polls, but the hardware has generally finished long
    before that. Reduce the poll time to 10us.
    
    On a c5.12xlarge, this improves ena initialization time from 173.6ms to
    1.920ms, an improvement of more than 90x. This improves server boot time
    and time to network bringup.
 
Thanks Josh,
We agree that polling rate should be increased, but prefer not to do it aggressively and blindly.
For example linear backoff approach might be a better choice. Please let us re-work a little this 
patch and bring it to review. Thanks!
