From 7c0acf868d2e470c9d6a40091acf8d6444c01b57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Kondratiev Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 19:37:05 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] wil6210: Tx performance monitoring For performance monitoring, trace time intervals when Tx vring is idle/not idle. Use CPU cycle counter for this, because jiffies is too rough, and other precise time measurement methods involve overhead while get_cycles() should be fast. This used to provide some estimation for percentage when Tx vring was idle, i.e. when hardware is under-utilized. Estimation is not precise because of many reasons - CPU frequency scaling, grt_cycles() may be per core etc. But still, it is good estimation Signed-off-by: Vladimir Kondratiev Signed-off-by: John W.
