ibmveth: Optimize poll rescheduling process
When the ibmveth driver processes less than the budget, it must call napi_complete_done() to release the instance. This function will return false if the driver should avoid rearming interrupts. Previously, the driver was ignoring the return code of napi_complete_done(). As a result, there were unnecessary calls to enable the veth irq. Therefore, use the return code napi_complete_done() to determine if irq rearm is necessary. Additionally, in the event that new data is received immediately after rearming interrupts, rather than just rescheduling napi, also jump back to the poll processing loop since we are already in the poll function (and know that we did not expense all of budget). This slight tweak results in a 15% increase in TCP_RR transaction rate (320k to 370k txns). We can see the ftrace data supports this: PREV: ibmveth_poll = 8818014.0 us / 182802.0 hits = AVG 48.24 NEW: ibmveth_poll = 8082398.0 us / 191413.0 hits = AVG 42.22 Signed-off-by: Nick Child <nnac123@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@amd.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240801211215.128101-2-nnac123@linux.ibm.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
