Kirr: In particular with
ethtool -C <ifname> rx-usecs 0 rx-frames 0
now it is possible to disable RX delays when NIC usage requires low-latency.
See this thread for context:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg217665.html
My specific case is that:
We have many computers with gigabit Realtek NICs. For 2 such computers
connected to a gigabit store-and-forward switch the minimum round-trip
time for small pings (`ping -i 0 -w 3 -s 56 -q peer`) is ~ 30μs.
However it turned out that when Ethernet frame length transitions 127 ->
128 bytes (`ping -i 0 -w 3 -s {81 -> 82} -q peer`) the lowest RTT
transitions step-wise to ~ 270μs.
As David Light said this is RX interrupt mitigation done by NIC which creates
the latency. For workloads when low-latency is required with e.g. Intel,
BCM etc NIC drivers one just uses `ethtool -C rx-usecs ...` to reduce
the time NIC delays before interrupting CPU, but it turned out
`ethtool -C` is not supported by r8169 driver.
Like Stéphane ANCELOT I've traced the problem down to IntrMitigate being
hardcoded to != 0 for our chips (we have 8168 based NICs):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c#n5460
static void rtl_hw_start_8169(struct net_device *dev) {
...
/*
* Undocumented corner. Supposedly:
* (TxTimer << 12) | (TxPackets << 8) | (RxTimer << 4) | RxPackets
*/
RTL_W16(IntrMitigate, 0x0000);
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c#n6346
static void rtl_hw_start_8168(struct net_device *dev) {
...
RTL_W16(IntrMitigate, 0x5151);
and then I've also found
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg217665.html
and original Francois' patch:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg217984.htmlhttps://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg218207.html
So could we please finally get support for tuning r8169 interrupt
coalescing in tree? (so that next poor soul who hits the problem does
not need to go all the way to dig into driver sources and internet
wildly and finally patch locally
-RTL_W16(IntrMitigate, 0x5151);
+RTL_W16(IntrMitigate, 0x5100);
guessing whether it is right or not and also having to care to deploy
the patch everywhere it needs to be used, etc...).
To do so I've took original Francois's patch from 2012 and reworked it a bit:
- updated to latest net-next.git;
- adjusted scaling setup based on feedback from Hayes to pick up scaling
vector depending not only on link speed but also on CPlusCmd[0:1] and to
adjust CPlusCmd[0:1] correspondingly when setting timings;
- improved a bit (I think so) error handling.
I've tested the patch on "RTL8168d/8111d" (XID 083000c0) and with it and
`ethtool -C rx-usecs 0 rx-frames 0` on both ends it improves:
- minimum RTT latency:
~270μs -> ~30μs (small packet),
~330μs -> ~110μs (full 1.5K ethernet frame)
- average RTT latency:
~480μs -> ~50μs (small packet),
~560μs -> ~125μs (full 1.5K ethernet frame)

the small -> 1.5K latency growth is understandable as it takes ~15μs
to transmit 1.5K on 1Gbps on the wire and with 2 hosts and 1 switch
and ICMP ECHO + ECHO reply the packet has to travel 4 ethernet
segments which is already 60μs;
probably something a bit else is also there as e.g. on Linux, even
with `cpupower frequency-set -g performance`, on some computers I've
noticed the kernel can be spending more time in software-only mode
when incoming packets go in less frequently. E.g. this program can
demonstrate the effect for ICMP ECHO processing:
https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/bcc/blob/43cfc13b/tools/pinglat.py
(later this was found to be partly due to C-states exit latencies) )
We have this patch running in our testing setup for 1 months already
without any issues observed.
It remains to be clarified whether RX and TX timers use the same base.
For now I've set them equally, but Francois's original patch version
suggests it could be not the same.
I've got no feedback at all to my original posting of this patch and questions
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg457173.html
neither from Francois, nor from any people from Realtek during one month.
So I suggest we simply apply it to net-next.git now.

bridge: make setlink/dellink notifications more accurate
Before this set the bridge would generate a notification on vlan add or del
even if they didn't actually do any changes, which confuses listeners and
is generally not preferred. We could also lose notifications on actual
changes if one adds a range of vlans and there's an error in the middle.
The problem with just breaking and returning an error is that we could
break existing user-space scripts which rely on the vlan delete to clear
all existing entries in the specified range and ignore the non-existing
errors (typically used to clear the current vlan config).
So in order to make the notifications more accurate while keeping backwards
compatibility we add a boolean that tracks if anything actually changed
during the config calls.
The vlan add is more difficult to fix because it always returns 0 even if
nothing changed, but we cannot use a specific error because the drivers
can return anything and we may mask it, also we'd need to update all places
that directly return the add result, thus to signal that a vlan was created
or updated and in order not to break overlapping vlan range add we pass
down the new boolean that tracks changes to the add functions to check
if anything was actually updated.
v6: moved "changed" in else branch in br|nbp_vlan_add, thanks to
Toshiaki Makita and retested everything again
v5: fix br_vlan_add return (v1 leftover) spotted by Toshiaki Makita
v4: set changed always to false in the non-vlan config case and retested
v3: rebased to latest net-next and fixed non-vlan config functions reported
by kbuild test bot
v2: pass changed down to vlan add instead of masking errors
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Before this patch there was no way to tell if the vlan add operation
actually changed anything, thus we would always generate a notification
on adds. Let's make the notifications more precise and generate them
only if anything changed, so use the new bool parameter to signal that the
vlan was updated. We cannot return an error because there are valid use
cases that will be broken (e.g. overlapping range add) and also we can't
risk masking errors due to calls into drivers for vlan add which can
potentially return anything.

Before this patch we had cases that either sent notifications when there
were in fact no changes (e.g. non-existent vlan delete) or didn't send
notifications when there were changes (e.g. vlan add range with an error in
the middle, port flags change + vlan update error). This patch sends down
a boolean to the functions setlink/dellink use and if there is even a
single configuration change (port flag, vlan add/del, port state) then
we always send a notification. This is all done to keep backwards
compatibility with the opportunistic vlan delete, where one could
specify a vlan range that has missing vlans inside and still everything
in that range will be cleared, this is mostly used to clear the whole
vlan config with a single call, i.e. range 1-4094.
