Subject: i40e: Enforce software interrupt during busy-poll exit
From: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ea558de7238bb12c3435c47f0631e9d17bf4a09f upstream.
As for ice bug fixed by commit b7306b42beaf ("ice: manage interrupts
during poll exit") followed by commit 23be7075b318 ("ice: fix software
generating extra interrupts") I'm seeing the similar issue also with
i40e driver.
In certain situation when busy-loop is enabled together with adaptive
coalescing, the driver occasionally misses that there are outstanding
descriptors to clean when exiting busy poll.
Try to catch the remaining work by triggering a software interrupt
when exiting busy poll. No extra interrupts will be generated when
busy polling is not used.
The issue was found when running sockperf ping-pong tcp test with
adaptive coalescing and busy poll enabled (50 as value busy_pool
and busy_read sysctl knobs) and results in huge latency spikes
with more than 100000us.
The fix is inspired from the ice driver and do the following:
1) During napi poll exit in case of busy-poll (napo_complete_done()
returns false) this is recorded to q_vector that we were in busy
loop.
2) Extends i40e_buildreg_itr() to be able to add an enforced software
interrupt into built value
2) In i40e_update_enable_itr() enforces a software interrupt trigger
if we are exiting busy poll to catch any pending clean-ups
3) Reuses unused 3rd ITR (interrupt throttle) index and set it to
20K interrupts per second to limit the number of these sw interrupts.
