Use the generic dynamic interrupt moderation (dim) framework to implement adaptive interrupt coalescing on Rx. With the per-packet interrupt scheme, a high interrupt rate has been noted for moderate traffic flows leading to high CPU utilization. The 'dim' scheme implemented by the current patch addresses this issue improving CPU utilization while using minimal coalescing time thresholds in order to preserve a good latency. On the Tx side use an optimal time threshold value by default. This value has been optimized for Tx TCP streams at a rate of around 85kpps on a 1G link, at which rate half of the Tx ring size (128) gets filled in 1500 usecs. Scaling this down to 2.5G links yields the current value of 600 usecs, which is conservative and gives good enough results for 1G links too (see next). Below are some measurement results for before and after this patch (and related dependencies) basically, for a 2 ARM Cortex-A72 @1.3Ghz CPUs system (32 KB L1 data cache), using 60secs log netperf TCP stream tests @ 1Gbit link (maximum throughput): 1) 1 Rx TCP flow, both Rx and Tx processed by the same NAPI thread on the same CPU: CPU utilization int rate (ints/sec) Before: 50%-60% (over 50%) 92k After: 13%-22% 3.5k-12k Comment: Major CPU utilization improvement for a single flow Rx TCP flow (i.e. netperf -t TCP_MAERTS) on a single CPU. Usually settles under 16% for longer tests. 2) 4 Rx TCP flows + 4 Tx TCP flows (+ pings to check the latency): Total CPU utilization Total int rate (ints/sec) Before: ~80% (spikes to 90%) ~100k After: 60% (more steady) ~4k Comment: Important improvement for this load test, while the ping test outcome does not show any notable difference compared to before.

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 Restructured Text 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.
