[PATCH 0/9] ath10k: improve throughput performance

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

 



Hi All,

In order to reuse HTT Rx descriptor (copy engine 5), HTT response
processing should be decoupled from txrx data processing. This change also
helps to reduce rx ring lock contention. As txrx tasklet's work load is
reduced, rx replenish task can be combined with txrx_task. Refilling
complete rx ring from txrx tasket is affecting UDP UL traffic in AP135
platform. Hence existing refill threshold is updated to meet peak
throughput in both AP135 and AP148 platforms. Instead of tasklet existing
refill timer is used to reschedule replenish work at an interval of 5 ms
incase of more deficit.

This series are experimented in both AP148(QCA99x0) & IPQ4019 platforms.
Below are consolidated report alongwith CPU usage. Thanks Tamizh for helping 
to verify the changes.
