From 36148c2bbfbe50c50206b6f61d072203c80161e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2018 16:11:05 +0100 Subject: mac80211: Adjust TSQ pacing shift MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Since we now have the convenient helper to do so, actually adjust the TSQ pacing shift for packets going out over a WiFi interface. This significantly improves throughput for locally-originated TCP connections. The default pacing shift of 10 corresponds to ~1ms of queued packet data. Adjusting this to a shift of 8 (i.e. ~4ms) improves 1-hop throughput for ath9k by a factor of 3, whereas increasing it more has diminishing returns. Achieved throughput for different values of sk_pacing_shift (average of 5 iterations of 10-sec netperf runs to a host on the other side of the WiFi hop): sk_pacing_shift 10: 43.21 Mbps (pre-patch) sk_pacing_shift 9: 78.17 Mbps sk_pacing_shift 8: 123.94 Mbps sk_pacing_shift 7: 128.31 Mbps Latency for competing flows increases from ~3 ms to ~10 ms with this change. This is about the same magnitude of queueing latency induced by flows that are not originated on the WiFi device itself (and so are not limited by TSQ).

Instead of adding missing "depends on CFG80211", it's easier to use a 'if' block around all options related to CFG80211, so do that.
