Instead of having to implement complex ndo_busy_poll() method, drivers can simply rely on NAPI poll logic. Busy polling gains are mainly coming from polling itself, not on exact details on how we poll the device. ndo_busy_poll() if implemented can avoid touching napi state, but it adds extra synchronization between normal napi->poll() and busy poll handler, slowing down the common path (non busy polling) with extra atomic operations. In practice few drivers ever got busy poll because of the complexity. We could go one step further, and make busy polling available for all NAPI drivers, but this would require that all netif_napi_del() calls are done in process context so that we can call synchronize_rcu(). Full audit would be required. Before this is done, a driver still needs to call : - skb_mark_napi_id() for each skb provided to the stack. - napi_hash_add() and napi_hash_del() to allocate a napi_id per napi struct. - Make sure RCU grace period is respected after napi_hash_del() before memory containing napi structure is freed. Followup patch implements busy poll for mlx5 driver as an example. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |
