[RFC V4 net-next 1/4] ethtool: add two coalesce attributes for CQE mode

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

 



Currently, there many drivers who support CQE mode configuration,
some configure it as a fixed when initialized, some provide an
interface to change it by ethtool private flags. In order make it
more generic, add two new 'ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_TX' and
'ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_RX' coalesce attributes, then these
parameters can be accessed by ethtool netlink coalesce uAPI.

 Attributes are only included in reply if their value is not zero or the
 corresponding bit in ``ethtool_ops::supported_coalesce_params`` is set (i.e.
 they are declared as supported by driver).
 
+Timer reset mode (``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_TX`` and
+``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_RX``) controls the interaction between packet
+arrival and the various time based delay parameters. By default timers are
+expected to limit the max delay between any packet arrival/departure and a
+corresponding interrupt. In this mode timer should be started by packet
+arrival (sometimes delivery of previous interrupt) and reset when interrupt
+is delivered.
+Setting the appropriate attribute to 1 will enable ``CQE`` mode, where
+each packet event resets the timer. In this mode timer is used to force
+the interrupt if queue goes idle, while busy queues depend on the packet
+limit to trigger interrupts.
