Hi Michael,
sorry for the late follow-up, I'd like to discuss and issue regarding your FT
patches sent by you. We have tested both Benjamin and your patches, and found
some performance problems. With our QCA9558/988x (using ath10k) based Access
points, enabling macvlans on top of bridges result in an performance drop of
30-40%.
We have investigated the reason, and it seems like enabling promiscous mode is
causing this problem. We have seen that Benjamins version of using a raw
socket on the bridge [1] can be used without enabling promiscous mode and
keeping the higher performance. However, we when using macvlan, promiscous
mode seems to always be enabled implicitly.
So far, I have not seen your patch [2] merged and it's marked deferred in
patchwork [3]. Are you still working on the patch? Or is it in some queue
which I didn't find, or superseded somehow? Would you consider reworking it to
be usable without macvlans?
Thank you!
Simon
