From 79f339125ea316e910220e5f5b4ad30370f4de85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nimrod Andy Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 08:16:23 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: fec: Add software TSO support Add software TSO support for FEC. This feature allows to improve outbound throughput performance. Tested on imx6dl sabresd board, running iperf tcp tests shows: - 16.2% improvement comparing with FEC SG patch - 82% improvement comparing with NO SG & TSO patch $ ethtool -K eth0 tso on $ iperf -c 10.192.242.167 -t 3 & [ 3] local 10.192.242.108 port 35388 connected with 10.192.242.167 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0- 3.0 sec 181 MBytes 506 Mbits/sec During the testing, CPU loading is 30%. Since imx6dl FEC Bandwidth is limited to SOC system bus bandwidth, the performance with SW TSO is a milestone.
