Cpus serving NIC interrupts and specifically TX completions are often trapped in also restarting a busy qdisc (because qdisc was stopped by BQL or the driver's own flow control). When they call netdev_tx_completed_queue() or netif_tx_wake_queue(), they call __netif_schedule() so that the queue can be run later from net_tx_action() (involving NET_TX_SOFTIRQ) Quite often, by the time the cpu reaches net_tx_action(), another cpu grabbed the qdisc spinlock from __dev_xmit_skb(), and we spend too much time spinning on this lock. We can detect in __netif_schedule() if a cpu is already at a specific point in __dev_xmit_skb() where we have the guarantee the queue will be run. This patch gives a 13 % increase of throughput on an IDPF NIC (200Gbit), 32 TX qeues, sending UDP packets of 120 bytes. This also helps __qdisc_run() to not force a NET_TX_SOFTIRQ if another thread is waiting in __dev_xmit_skb() Before: sar -n DEV 5 5|grep eth1|grep Average Average: eth1 1496.44 52191462.56 210.00 13369396.90 0.00 0.00 0.00 54.76 After: sar -n DEV 5 5|grep eth1|grep Average Average: eth1 1457.88 59363099.96 205.08 15206384.35 0.00 0.00 0.00 62.29 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251017145334.3016097-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
