From d742c969b3ad9c83ac57579dfd56c90dd437db37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Kazior Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 14:52:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: prevent txrx running for too long On multicore systems it was possible for the txrx tasklet to keep on running for long periods of time on a single CPU due to tx completion processing. Another CPU could feed the running tasklet for an indefinite amount of time. The tasklet is now guaranteed to run a finite amount of time and is limited by HTT CE Rx ring depth. This improves behavior when RPS is used on target system and might improve TCP handling as well.
