Subject: [PATCH v2 02/50] wilc1000: switch txq_event from completion to
waitqueue
Completion structs are essentially counting semaphores: every
complete() call wakes up exactly one thread, either immediately (when
there are waiters queued) or in the future (when a waiter arrives).
This isn't really the appropriate synchronization structure for the
wilc1000 transmit queue handler (wilc_wlan_handle_txq) because it will
consume zero, one, or more packets on each call. Instead, use a
waitqueue as a condition variable: wake_up_interruptible() wakes up
the tx queue handler from a call to wait_event_interruptible()
whenever something interesting happens and it then takes the
appropriate action. This has a couple of benefits:
- Since the transmit queue handler often transfers multiple packets
to the chip on each call, repeated calls to wait_for_completion()
when there is no actual work to do are avoided.
- When the transmit queue handler cannot transfer any packets at all,
it'll simply give up the current time slice and then tries again.
Previously, the transmit would stall until a new packet showed up
(which potentially could cause extended stalls). It would be even
better to wait for a "tx queue not full" interrupt but, sadly, I'm
told the wilc1000 firmware doesn't provide that.
- There is no longer any need for wilc_wlan_txq_filter_dup_tcp_ack()
to adjust the completion structs wait count by calling
wait_for_completion_timeout() for each dropped packet.
