Two optimizations. - Don't do tx packets free in ndo_start_xmit(), tests shows it reduce the effect of coalescing. - Let ethtool can change the number of packets freed in one tx napi run through tx-frames-irq.

This could be tuned by ethtool tx-frames-irq to control how many packets at most could be processed by on tx napi. Use may want to coalesce more than 64 packets per irq, so something like this is necessary for user. > > >> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL >> /* must be called with local_bh_disable()d */ >> static int virtnet_busy_poll(struct napi_struct *napi) >> @@ -825,30 +882,12 @@ static int virtnet_open(struct net_device >> *dev) >> if (!try_fill_recv(&vi->rq[i], GFP_KERNEL)) >> schedule_delayed_work(&vi->refill, 0); >> virtnet_napi_enable(&vi->rq[i]); >> + napi_enable(&vi->sq[i].napi); >> } >> >> return 0; >> } >> >> -static void free_old_xmit_skbs(struct send_queue *sq) >> -{ >> - struct sk_buff *skb; >> - unsigned int len; >> - struct virtnet_info *vi = sq->vq->vdev->priv; >> - struct virtnet_stats *stats = this_cpu_ptr(vi->stats); >> - >> - while ((skb = virtqueue_get_buf(sq->vq, &len)) != NULL) { >> - pr_debug("Sent skb %p\n", skb); >> - >> - u64_stats_update_begin(&stats->tx_syncp); >> - stats->tx_bytes += skb->len; >> - stats->tx_packets++; >> - u64_stats_update_end(&stats->tx_syncp); >> - >> - dev_kfree_skb_any(skb); >> - } >> -} >> - >> static int xmit_skb(struct send_queue *sq, struct sk_buff *skb) >> { >> struct skb_vnet_hdr *hdr; >> @@ -912,7 +951,9 @@ static int xmit_skb(struct send_queue *sq, >> struct sk_buff *skb) >> sg_set_buf(sq->sg, hdr, hdr_len); >> num_sg = skb_to_sgvec(skb, sq->sg + 1, 0, skb->len) + 1; >> } >> - return virtqueue_add_outbuf(sq->vq, sq->sg, num_sg, skb, >> GFP_ATOMIC); >> + >> + return virtqueue_add_outbuf(sq->vq, sq->sg, num_sg, skb, >> + GFP_ATOMIC); >> } >> >> static netdev_tx_t start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct >> net_device *dev) >> @@ -924,8 +965,7 @@ static netdev_tx_t start_xmit(struct sk_buff >> *skb, struct net_device *dev) >> struct netdev_queue *txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, qnum); >> bool kick = !skb->xmit_more; >> >> - /* Free up any pending old buffers before queueing new ones. */ >> - free_old_xmit_skbs(sq); >> + virtqueue_disable_cb(sq->vq); >> >> /* Try to transmit */ >> err = xmit_skb(sq, skb); >> @@ -941,27 +981,19 @@ static netdev_tx_t start_xmit(struct sk_buff >> *skb, struct net_device *dev) >> return NETDEV_TX_OK; >> } >> >> - /* Don't wait up for transmitted skbs to be freed. */ >> - skb_orphan(skb); >> - nf_reset(skb); >> - >> /* Apparently nice girls don't return TX_BUSY; stop the queue >> * before it gets out of hand.
