Drivers call netdev_tx_completed_queue() right before netif_txq_maybe_wake(). If BQL is enabled netdev_tx_completed_queue() should issue a memory barrier, so we can depend on that separating the stop check from the consumer index update, instead of adding another barrier in netif_txq_maybe_wake(). This matters more than the barriers on the xmit path, because the wake condition is almost always true. So we issue the consumer side barrier often. Wrap netdev_tx_completed_queue() in a local helper to issue the barrier even if BQL is disabled. Keep the same semantics as netdev_tx_completed_queue() (barrier only if bytes != 0) to make it clear that the barrier is conditional. Plus since macro gets pkt/byte counts as arguments now - we can skip waking if there were no packets completed. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
