[PATCH v2 1/3] wifi: rtw88: usb: Copy instead of cloning the RX skb

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

 



"iperf3 -c 192.168.0.1 -R --udp -b 0" shows about 40% of datagrams
are lost. Many torrents don't download faster than 3 MiB/s, probably
because the Bittorrent protocol uses UDP. This is somehow related to
the use of skb_clone() in the RX path.

Don't use skb_clone(). Instead allocate a new skb for each 802.11 frame
received and copy the data from the big (32768 byte) skb.

With this patch, "iperf3 -c 192.168.0.1 -R --udp -b 0" shows only 1-2%
of datagrams are lost, and torrents can reach download speeds of 36
MiB/s.

Tested with RTL8812AU and RTL8822CU.
