Spectrum ASICs only support a single interrupt, that means that all the events are handled by one IRQ (interrupt request) handler. Once an interrupt is received, we schedule tasklet to handle events from EQ and then schedule tasklets to handle completions from CQs. Tasklet runs in softIRQ (software IRQ) context, and will be run on the same CPU which scheduled it. That means that today we use only one CPU to handle all the packets (both network packets and EMADs) from hardware. This can be improved using NAPI. The idea is to use NAPI instance per CQ, which is mapped 1:1 to DQ (RDQ or SDQ). NAPI poll method can be run in kernel thread, so then the driver will be able to handle WQEs in several CPUs. Convert the existing code to use NAPI APIs. Add NAPI instance as part of 'struct mlxsw_pci_queue' and initialize it as part of CQs initialization. Set the appropriate poll method and dummy net device, according to queue number, similar to tasklet setup. For CQs which are used for completions of RDQ, use Rx poll method and 'napi_dev_rx', which is set as 'threaded'. It means that Rx poll method will run in kernel context, so several RDQs will be handled in parallel. For CQs which are used for completions of SDQ, use Tx poll method and 'napi_dev_tx', this method will run in softIRQ context, as it is recommended in NAPI documentation, as Tx packets' processing is short task. Convert mlxsw_pci_cq_{rx,tx}_tasklet() to poll methods. Handle 'budget' argument - ignore it in Tx poll method, as it is recommended to not limit Tx processing. For Rx processing, handle up to 'budget' completions. Return 'work_done' which is the amount of completions that were handled. Handle the following cases: 1. After processing 'budget' completions, the driver still has work to do: Return work-done = budget. In that case, the NAPI instance will be polled again (without the need to be rescheduled). Do not re-arm the queue, as NAPI will handle the reschedule, so we do not have to involve hardware to send an additional interrupt for the completions that should be processed. 2. Event processing has been completed: Call napi_complete_done() to mark NAPI processing as completed, which means that the poll method will not be rescheduled. Re-arm the queue, as all completions were handled. In case that poll method handled exactly 'budget' completions, return work-done = budget -1, to distinguish from the case that driver still has completions to handle. Otherwise, return the amount of completions that were handled.
