[PATCH for-next v3 0/7] RDMA/bnxt_re: Doorbell Drop Prevention

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The idea behind this series is to prevent Doorbell drops
on some of the Broadcom adapters that require Doorbell
moderation. This is achieved by pacing the doorbell writes
into the hardware FIFO. The rate at which individual doorbells
are written needs to be dynamically adjusted, because
it depends on the ability of the hardware to drain the
FIFO and on the number and behavior of individual
doorbell writers. When congestion is detected by the user
library, it notifies the driver and driver adjust the
pacing parameters dynamically in a shared page, which will
be used for pacing the Doorbells.

Currently this feature is targeted only for user applications.
The corresponding user lib patch is in the pull request.
