Subject: [next-queue v2 0/4] i40e: Add an i40e_napi_poll tracepoint

Greetings:

Debugging and tuning the NAPI and i40e NIC parameters can be a bit tricky
as there are many different options to test.

This change adds a tracepoint to i40e_napi_poll which exposes a lot of
helpful debug information for users who'd like to get a better
understanding of how their NIC is performing as they adjust various
parameters and tuning knobs.

With this series applied, you can use the tracepoint with perf by running:

$ sudo perf trace -e i40e:i40e_napi_poll -a --call-graph=fp --libtraceevent_print

388.258 :0/0 i40e:i40e_napi_poll(i40e_napi_poll on dev eth2 q i40e-eth2-TxRx-9 irq 346 irq_mask 00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00800000 curr_cpu 23 budget 64 bpr 64 rx_cleaned 28 tx_cleaned 0 rx_clean_complete 1 tx_clean_complete 1)

	cpu_startup_entry ([kernel.kallsyms])
	[0x243fd8] ([kernel.kallsyms])
	secondary_startup_64_no_verify ([kernel.kallsyms])

The output is verbose, but is helpful when trying to determine the impact of
various turning parameters.

Thanks,
Joe

v1 -> v2:
	- TX path modified to push an out parameter through the function
	  call chain instead of modifying control flow.
	- RX path modified to also use an out parameter to track the number
	  of packets processed.
	- Naming of tracepoint struct members and format string modified to
	  be more readable.


Joe Damato (4):
  i40e: Store the irq number in i40e_q_vector
  i40e: Record number TXes cleaned during NAPI
  i40e: Record number of RXes cleaned during NAPI
  i40e: Add i40e_napi_poll tracepoint
