Subject: [pull request][for-next 0/9] Generic DIM lib for netdev and RDMA

Hi Dave, Doug & Jason

This series improves DIM - Dynamically-tuned Interrupt
Moderation- to be generic for netdev and RDMA use-cases.

From Tal and Yamin:
The first 7 patches provide the necessary refactoring to current net_dim
library which affect some net drivers who are using the API.

The last 2 patches provide the RDMA implementation for DIM.

For more information please see tag log below.

Once we are all happy with the series, please pull to net-next and
rdma-next trees.

Thanks,
Saeed.

  RDMA/core: Provide RDMA DIM support for ULPs (2019-06-05 16:09:02 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------

From: Tal Gilboa

Implement net DIM over a generic DIM library

net_dim.h lib exposes an implementation of the DIM algorithm for
dynamically-tuned interrupt moderation for networking interfaces.

We want a similar functionality for other protocols, which might need to
optimize interrupts differently. Main motivation here is DIM for NVMf
storage protocol.

Current DIM implementation prioritizes reducing interrupt overhead over
latency. Also, in order to reduce DIM's own overhead, the algorithm might
take some time to identify it needs to change profiles. While this is
acceptable for networking, it might not work well on other scenarios.

Here I propose a new structure to DIM. The idea is to allow a slightly
modified functionality without the risk of breaking Net DIM behavior for
netdev. I verified there are no degradations in current DIM behavior with
the modified solution.

Solution:
- Common logic is declared in include/linux/dim.h and implemented in
  lib/dim/dim.c
- Net DIM (existing) logic is declared in include/linux/net_dim.h and
  implemented in lib/dim/net_dim.c, which uses the common logic from dim.h
- Any new DIM logic will be declared in "/include/linux/new_dim.h" and
   implemented in "lib/dim/new_dim.c".
- This new implementation will expose modified versions of profiles,
  dim_step() and dim_decision().

Pros for this solution are:
- Zero impact on existing net_dim implementation and usage
- Relatively more code reuse (compared to two separate solutions)
- Increased extensibility

----------------------------------------------------------------
Tal Gilboa (6):
      linux/dim: Move logic to dim.h
      linux/dim: Remove "net" prefix from internal DIM members
      linux/dim: Rename externally exposed macros
      linux/dim: Rename net_dim_sample() to net_dim_update_sample()
      linux/dim: Rename externally used net_dim members
      linux/dim: Move implementation to .c files

Yamin Friedman (3):
      linux/dim: Add completions count to dim_sample
      linux/dim: Implement rdma_dim
      RDMA/core: Provide RDMA DIM support for ULPs
