[PATCH 2/2] brcmfmac: Set pacing shift before transmitting skb to bus

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

 



Linux 3.6 introduces TSQ which has a per socket threshold for TCP Tx
packet to reduce latency. In flow control mode, host driver enqueues skb
in hanger and TCP doesn't push new skb frees until host frees the skb when
receiving fwstatus event. So set pacing shift 8 to send them as a single
large aggregate frame to the bus layer.

43455 TX TCP throughput in FC mode 2 on Linux 5.4.18
sk_pacing_shift : Throughput
10: 190 Mbps
 9: 216 Mbps
 8: 233 Mbps (Max throughput)
 7: 233 Mpbs
