[PATCH v2 0/7] wl12xx: Optimizing throughput and CPU usage

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

 



The following patches tweak the driver in multiple places to achieve maximal
throughput and minimal CPU usage.

Throughput improved significantly with these patches, up to 50% increase in
some cases.

Changes since v1:
- Keep using the existing PG version mask & introduce an end-of-transaction
  quirk
- Make sure the deferred queues don't get too large
- Prevent a theoretical endless loop in the interrupt handler
- Flush the network stack work before cancelling it

Ido Yariv (7):
  wl12xx: Reorder data handling in irq_work
  wl12xx: Do end-of-transactions transfers only if needed
  wl12xx: Change claiming of the SDIO bus
  wl12xx: Switch to a threaded interrupt handler
  wl12xx: Switch to level trigger interrupts
  wl12xx: Avoid redundant TX work
  wl12xx: Modify requested number of memory blocks
