net/mlx5: Make vport QoS enablement more flexible for future extensions
Refactor esw_qos_vport_enable to support more generic configurations,
allowing it to be reused for new vport node types in future patches.
This refactor includes a new way to change the vport parent node by
disabling the current setup and re-enabling it with the new parent.
This change sets the foundation for adapting configuration based on the
parent type in future patches.

host1 have enabled multipath and
sysctl net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_policy = 1:

nexthop via 10.179.2.12 dev ens17f1 weight 1
nexthop via 10.179.2.140 dev ens17f0 weight 1
When host1 tries to do pmtud from 10.179.20.18/32 to host2,
host1 receives at ens17f1 iface an icmp packet from ro3 that ro3 mtu=1500.
And host1 caches it in nexthop exceptions cache.
Problem is that it is cached only for the iface that has received icmp,
and there is no way that ro3 will send icmp msg to host1 via another path.
Host1 now have this routes to host2:
ip r g 10.10.30.30 sport 30000 dport 443
10.10.30.30 via 10.179.2.12 dev ens17f1 src 10.179.20.18 uid 0
cache expires 521sec mtu 1500
ip r g 10.10.30.30 sport 30033 dport 443
10.10.30.30 via 10.179.2.140 dev ens17f0 src 10.179.20.18 uid 0
cache
So when host1 tries again to reach host2 with mtu>1500,
if packet flow is lucky enough to be hashed with oif=ens17f1 its ok,
if oif=ens17f0 it blackholes and still gets icmp msgs from ro3 to ens17f1,
until lucky day when ro3 will send it through another flow to ens17f0.

Joe Damato says:
====================
Suspend IRQs during application busy periods
This series introduces a new mechanism, IRQ suspension, which allows
network applications using epoll to mask IRQs during periods of high
traffic while also reducing tail latency (compared to existing
mechanisms, see below) during periods of low traffic. In doing so, this
balances CPU consumption with network processing efficiency.
Martin Karsten (CC'd) and I have been collaborating on this series for
several months and have appreciated the feedback from the community on
our RFC [1]. We've updated the cover letter and kernel documentation in
an attempt to more clearly explain how this mechanism works, how
applications can use it, and how it compares to existing mechanisms in
the kernel.
I briefly mentioned this idea at netdev conf 2024 (for those who were
there) and Martin described this idea in an earlier paper presented at
Sigmetrics 2024 [2].
~ The short explanation (TL;DR)
We propose adding a new napi config parameter: irq_suspend_timeout to
help balance CPU usage and network processing efficiency when using IRQ
deferral and napi busy poll.
If this parameter is set to a non-zero value *and* a user application
has enabled preferred busy poll on a busy poll context (via the
EPIOCSPARAMS ioctl introduced in commit
18e2bf0edf4d ("eventpoll: Add
epoll ioctl for epoll_params")), then application calls to epoll_wait
for that context will cause device IRQs and softirq processing to be
suspended as long as epoll_wait successfully retrieves data from the
NAPI. Each time data is retrieved, the irq_suspend_timeout is deferred.
If/when network traffic subsides and epoll_wait returns no data, IRQ
suspension is immediately reverted back to the existing
napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout mechanism which was
introduced in commit
6f8b12d661d0 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral
feature")).
The irq_suspend_timeout serves as a safety mechanism. If userland takes
a long time processing data, irq_suspend_timeout will fire and restart
normal NAPI processing.
For a more in depth explanation, please continue reading.
~ Comparison with existing mechanisms
Interrupt mitigation can be accomplished in napi software, by setting
napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout, or via interrupt coalescing
in the NIC. This can be quite efficient, but in both cases, a fixed
timeout (or packet count) needs to be configured. However, a fixed
timeout cannot effectively support both low- and high-load situations:
At low load, an application typically processes a few requests and then
waits to receive more input data. In this scenario, a large timeout will
cause unnecessary latency.
At high load, an application typically processes many requests before
being ready to receive more input data. In this case, a small timeout
will likely fire prematurely and trigger irq/softirq processing, which
interferes with the application's execution. This causes overhead, most
likely due to cache contention.
While NICs attempt to provide adaptive interrupt coalescing schemes,
these cannot properly take into account application-level processing.
An alternative packet delivery mechanism is busy-polling, which results
in perfect alignment of application processing and network polling. It
delivers optimal performance (throughput and latency), but results in
100% cpu utilization and is thus inefficient for below-capacity
workloads.
We propose to add a new packet delivery mode that properly alternates
between busy polling and interrupt-based delivery depending on busy and
idle periods of the application. During a busy period, the system
operates in busy-polling mode, which avoids interference. During an idle
period, the system falls back to interrupt deferral, but with a small
timeout to avoid excessive latencies. This delivery mode can also be
viewed as an extension of basic interrupt deferral, but alternating
between a small and a very large timeout.
This delivery mode is efficient, because it avoids softirq execution
interfering with application processing during busy periods. It can be
used with blocking epoll_wait to conserve cpu cycles during idle
periods. The effect of alternating between busy and idle periods is that
performance (throughput and latency) is very close to full busy polling,
while cpu utilization is lower and very close to interrupt mitigation.
~ Usage details
IRQ suspension is introduced via a per-NAPI configuration parameter that
controls the maximum time that IRQs can be suspended.
Here's how it is intended to work:
- The user application (or system administrator) uses the netdev-genl
netlink interface to set the pre-existing napi_defer_hard_irqs and
gro_flush_timeout NAPI config parameters to enable IRQ deferral.
- The user application (or system administrator) sets the proposed
irq_suspend_timeout parameter via the netdev-genl netlink interface
to a larger value than gro_flush_timeout to enable IRQ suspension.
- The user application issues the existing epoll ioctl to set the
prefer_busy_poll flag on the epoll context.
- The user application then calls epoll_wait to busy poll for network
events, as it normally would.
- If epoll_wait returns events to userland, IRQs are suspended for the
duration of irq_suspend_timeout.
- If epoll_wait finds no events and the thread is about to go to
sleep, IRQ handling using napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout
is resumed.
As long as epoll_wait is retrieving events, IRQs (and softirq
processing) for the NAPI being polled remain disabled. When network
traffic reduces, eventually a busy poll loop in the kernel will retrieve
no data. When this occurs, regular IRQ deferral using gro_flush_timeout
for the polled NAPI is re-enabled.
Unless IRQ suspension is continued by subsequent calls to epoll_wait, it
automatically times out after the irq_suspend_timeout timer expires.
Regular deferral is also immediately re-enabled when the epoll context
is destroyed.
~ Usage scenario
The target scenario for IRQ suspension as packet delivery mode is a
system that runs a dominant application with substantial network I/O.
The target application can be configured to receive input data up to a
certain batch size (via epoll_wait maxevents parameter) and this batch
size determines the worst-case latency that application requests might
experience. Because packet delivery is suspended during the target
application's processing, the batch size also determines the worst-case
latency of concurrent applications using the same RX queue(s).
gro_flush_timeout should be set as small as possible, but large enough to
make sure that a single request is likely not being interfered with.
irq_suspend_timeout is largely a safety mechanism against misbehaving
applications. It should be set large enough to cover the processing of an
entire application batch, i.e., the factor between gro_flush_timeout and
irq_suspend_timeout should roughly correspond to the maximum batch size
that the target application would process in one go.
~ Important call out in the implementation
- Enabling per epoll-context preferred busy poll will now effectively
lead to a nonblocking iteration through napi_busy_loop, even when
busy_poll_usecs is 0. See patch 4.
~ Benchmark configs & descriptions
The changes were benchmarked with memcached [3] using the benchmarking
tool mutilate [4].
To facilitate benchmarking, a small patch [5] was applied to memcached
1.6.29 to allow setting per-epoll context preferred busy poll and other
settings via environment variables. Another small patch [6] was applied
to libevent to enable full busy-polling.
Multiple scenarios were benchmarked as described below and the scripts
used for producing these results can be found on github [7] (note: all
scenarios use NAPI-based traffic splitting via SO_INCOMING_ID by passing
-N to memcached):
- base:
- no other options enabled
- deferX:
- set defer_hard_irqs to 100
- set gro_flush_timeout to X,000
- napibusy:
- set defer_hard_irqs to 100
- set gro_flush_timeout to 200,000
- enable busy poll via the existing ioctl (busy_poll_usecs = 64,
busy_poll_budget = 64, prefer_busy_poll = true)
- fullbusy:
- set defer_hard_irqs to 100
- set gro_flush_timeout to 5,000,000
- enable busy poll via the existing ioctl (busy_poll_usecs = 1000,
busy_poll_budget = 64, prefer_busy_poll = true)
- change memcached's nonblocking epoll_wait invocation (via
libevent) to using a 1 ms timeout
- suspend0:
- set defer_hard_irqs to 0
- set gro_flush_timeout to 0
- set irq_suspend_timeout to 20,000,000
- enable busy poll via the existing ioctl (busy_poll_usecs = 0,
busy_poll_budget = 64, prefer_busy_poll = true)
- suspendX:
- set defer_hard_irqs to 100
- set gro_flush_timeout to X,000
- set irq_suspend_timeout to 20,000,000
- enable busy poll via the existing ioctl (busy_poll_usecs = 0,
busy_poll_budget = 64, prefer_busy_poll = true)
~ Benchmark results
Tested on:
Single socket AMD EPYC 7662 64-Core Processor
Hyperthreading disabled
4 NUMA Zones (NPS=4)
16 CPUs per NUMA zone (64 cores total)
2 x Dual port 100gbps Mellanox Technologies ConnectX-5 Ex EN NIC
The test machine is configured such that a single interface has 8 RX
queues. The queues' IRQs and memcached are pinned to CPUs that are
NUMA-local to the interface which is under test. The NIC's interrupt
coalescing configuration is left at boot-time defaults.
Results:
Results are shown below. The mechanism added by this series is
represented by the 'suspend' cases. Data presented shows a summary over
nearly 10 runs of each test case [8] using the scripts on github [7].
For latency, the median is shown. For throughput and CPU utilization,
the average is shown.
The results also include cycles-per-query (cpq) and
instruction-per-query (ipq) metrics, following the methodology proposed
in [2], to augment the CPU utilization numbers, which could be skewed
due to frequency scaling. We find that this does not appear to be the
case as CPU utilization and low-level metrics show similar trends.
These results were captured using the scripts on github [7] to
illustrate how this approach compares with other pre-existing
mechanisms. This data is not to be interpreted as scientific data
captured in a fully isolated lab setting, but instead as best effort,
illustrative information comparing and contrasting tradeoffs.
The absolute QPS results shift between submissions, but the
relative differences are equivalent. As patches are rebased,
several factors likely influence overall performance.
Compare:
- Throughput (MAX) and latencies of base vs suspend.
- CPU usage of napibusy and fullbusy during lower load (200K, 400K for
example) vs suspend.
- Latency of the defer variants vs suspend as timeout and load
increases.
- suspend0, which sets defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout to 0, has
nearly the same performance as the base case (this is FAQ item #1).
The overall takeaway is that the suspend variants provide a superior
combination of high throughput, low latency, and low cpu utilization
compared to all other variants. Each of the suspend variants works very
well, but some fine-tuning between latency and cpu utilization is still
possible by tuning the small timeout (gro_flush_timeout).
Note: we've reorganized the results to make comparison among testcases
with the same load easier.

~ FAQ
- Why is a new parameter needed? Does irq_suspend_timeout override
gro_flush_timeout?
Using the suspend mechanism causes the system to alternate between
polling mode and irq-driven packet delivery. During busy periods,
irq_suspend_timeout overrides gro_flush_timeout and keeps the system
busy polling, but when epoll finds no events, the setting of
gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs determine the next step.
There are essentially three possible loops for network processing and
packet delivery:
1) hardirq -> softirq -> napi poll; basic interrupt delivery
2) timer -> softirq -> napi poll; deferred irq processing
3) epoll -> busy-poll -> napi poll; busy looping
Loop 2 can take control from Loop 1, if gro_flush_timeout and
napi_defer_hard_irqs are set.
If gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs are set, Loops 2 and
3 "wrestle" with each other for control. During busy periods,
irq_suspend_timeout is used as timer in Loop 2, which essentially
tilts this in favour of Loop 3.
If gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs are not set, Loop 3
cannot take control from Loop 1.
Therefore, setting gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs is the
recommended usage, because otherwise setting irq_suspend_timeout
might not have any discernible effect.
This is shown in the results above: compare suspend0 with the base
case. Note that the lack of napi_defer_hard_irqs and
gro_flush_timeout produce similar results for both, which encourages
the use of napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout in addition to
irq_suspend_timeout.
- Can the new timeout value be threaded through the new epoll ioctl ?
It is possible, but presents challenges for userspace. User
applications must ensure that the file descriptors added to epoll
contexts have the same NAPI ID to support busy polling.
An epoll context is not permanently tied to any particular NAPI ID.
So, a user application could decide to clear the file descriptors
from the context and add a new set of file descriptors with a
different NAPI ID to the context. Busy polling would work as
expected, but the meaning of the suspend timeout becomes ambiguous
because IRQs are not inherently associated with epoll contexts, but
rather with the NAPI. The user program would need to reissue the
ioctl to set the irq_suspend_timeout, but the napi_defer_hard_irqs
and gro_flush_timeout settings would come from the NAPI's
napi_config (which are set either by sysfs or by netlink). Such an
interface seems awkard to use from a user perspective.
Further, IRQs are related to NAPIs, which is why they are stored in
the napi_config space. Putting the irq_suspend_timeout in
the epoll context while other IRQ deferral mechanisms remain in the
NAPI's napi_config space seems like an odd design choice.
We've opted to keep all of the IRQ deferral parameters together and
place the irq_suspend_timeout in napi_config. This has nice benefits
for userspace: if a user app were to remove all file descriptors
from an epoll context and add new file descriptors with a new NAPI ID,
the correct suspend timeout for that NAPI ID would be used automatically
without the user application needing to do anything (like re-issuing an
ioctl, for example). All IRQ deferral related parameters are in one
place and can all be set the same way: with netlink.
- Can irq suspend be built by combining NIC coalescing and
gro_flush_timeout ?
No. The problem is that the long timeout must engage if and only if
prefer-busy is active.
When using NIC coalescing for the short timeout (without
napi_defer_hard_irqs/gro_flush_timeout), an interrupt after an idle
period will trigger softirq, which will run napi polling. At this
point, prefer-busy is not active, so NIC interrupts would be
re-enabled. Then it is not possible for the longer timeout to
interject to switch control back to polling. In other words, only by
using the software timer for the short timeout, it is possible to
extend the timeout without having to reprogram the NIC timer or
reach down directly and disable interrupts.
Using gro_flush_timeout for the long timeout also has problems, for
the same underlying reason. In the current napi implementation,
gro_flush_timeout is not tied to prefer-busy. We'd either have to
change that and in the process modify the existing deferral
mechanism, or introduce a state variable to determine whether
gro_flush_timeout is used as long timeout for irq suspend or whether
it is used for its default purpose. In an earlier version, we did
try something similar to the latter and made it work, but it ends up
being a lot more convoluted than our current proposal.
- Isn't it already possible to combine busy looping with irq deferral?
Yes, in fact enabling irq deferral via napi_defer_hard_irqs and
gro_flush_timeout is a precondition for prefer_busy_poll to have an
effect. If the application also uses a tight busy loop with
essentially nonblocking epoll_wait (accomplished with a very short
timeout parameter), this is the fullbusy case shown in the results.
An application using blocking epoll_wait is shown as the napibusy
case in the results. It's a hybrid approach that provides limited
latency benefits compared to the base case and plain irq deferral,
but not as good as fullbusy or suspend.
~ Special thanks
Several people were involved in earlier stages of the development of this
mechanism whom we'd like to thank:
- Peter Cai (CC'd), for the initial kernel patch and his contributions
to the paper.
- Mohammadamin Shafie (CC'd), for testing various versions of the kernel
patch and providing helpful feedback.
Thanks,

selftests: net: Add busy_poll_test
Add an epoll busy poll test using netdevsim.
This test is comprised of:
- busy_poller (via busy_poller.c)
- busy_poll_test.sh which loads netdevsim, sets up network namespaces,
and runs busy_poller to receive data and socat to send data.
The selftest tests two different scenarios:
- busy poll (the pre-existing version in the kernel)
- busy poll with suspend enabled (what this series adds)
The data transmit is a 1MiB temporary file generated from /dev/urandom
and the test is considered passing if the md5sum of the input file to
socat matches the md5sum of the output file from busy_poller.
netdevsim was chosen instead of veth due to netdevsim's support for
netdev-genl.
For now, this test uses the functionality that netdevsim provides. In the
future, perhaps netdevsim can be extended to emulate device IRQs to more
thoroughly test all pre-existing kernel options (like defer_hard_irqs)
and suspend.

rtnetlink: Register rtnl_dellink() and rtnl_setlink() with RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_PERNET_WIP.
Currently, rtnl_setlink() and rtnl_dellink() cannot be fully converted
to per-netns RTNL due to a lack of handling peer/lower/upper devices in
different netns.
For example, when we change a device in rtnl_setlink() and need to
propagate that to its upper devices, we want to avoid acquiring all netns
locks, for which we do not know the upper limit.
The same situation happens when we remove a device.
rtnl_dellink() could be transformed to remove a single device in the
requested netns and delegate other devices to per-netns work, and
rtnl_setlink() might be ?
Until we come up with a better idea, let's use a new flag
RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_PERNET_WIP for rtnl_dellink() and rtnl_setlink().
This will unblock converting RTNL users where such devices are not related.

rtnetlink: Introduce struct rtnl_nets and helpers.
rtnl_newlink() needs to hold 3 per-netns RTNL: 2 for a new device
and 1 for its peer.
We will add rtnl_nets_lock() later, which performs the nested locking
based on struct rtnl_nets, which has an array of struct net pointers.
rtnl_nets_add() adds a net pointer to the array and sorts it so that
rtnl_nets_lock() can simply acquire per-netns RTNL from array[0] to [2].
Before calling rtnl_nets_add(), get_net() must be called for the net,
and rtnl_nets_destroy() will call put_net() for each.
Let's apply the helpers to rtnl_newlink().
When CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL is disabled, we do not call
rtnl_net_lock() thus do not care about the array order, so
rtnl_net_cmp_locks() returns -1 so that the loop in rtnl_nets_add()

This patch series fixes issues in the dwmac4 driver. These three patches
don't cause any user-visible issues, so they are targeted for net-next.
Patch #1:
Corrects the masking logic in the MTL Operation Mode RTC mask and shift
macros. The current code lacks the use of the ~ operator, which is
necessary to clear the bits properly.
Patch #2:
Addresses inaccuracies in the MTL_OP_MODE_*_MASK macros. The RTC fields
are located in bits [1:0], and this patch ensures the mask and shift
macros use the appropriate values to reflect this.
Patch #3:
Moves the handling of the Receive Watchdog Timeout (RWT) out of the
Abnormal Interrupt Summary (AIS) condition. According to the databook,
the RWT interrupt is not included in the AIS.

net: hsr: Add VLAN CTAG filter support
This patch adds support for VLAN ctag based filtering at slave devices.
The slave ethernet device may be capable of filtering ethernet packets
based on VLAN ID. This requires that when the VLAN interface is created
over an HSR/PRP interface, it passes the VID information to the
associated slave ethernet devices so that it updates the hardware
filters to filter ethernet frames based on VID. This patch adds the
required functions to propagate the vid information to the slave
devices.

Add support for accessing PHYs via a side MDIO interface in LAN937x
switches. The existing code already supports accessing PHYs via main
management interfaces, which can be SPI, I2C, or MDIO, depending on the
chip variant. This patch enables using a side MDIO bus, where SPI is
used for the main switch configuration and MDIO for managing the
integrated PHYs. On LAN937x, this is optional, allowing them to operate
in both configurations: SPI only, or SPI + MDIO. Typically, the SPI
interface is used for switch configuration, while MDIO handles PHY
management.
Additionally, update interrupt controller code to support non-linear
port to PHY address mapping, enabling correct interrupt handling for
configurations where PHY addresses do not directly correspond to port
indexes. This change ensures that the interrupt mechanism properly
aligns with the new, flexible PHY address mappings introduced by side
MDIO support.

ipv6: Fix soft lockups in fib6_select_path under high next hop churn
Soft lockups have been observed on a cluster of Linux-based edge routers
located in a highly dynamic environment. Using the `bird` service, these
routers continuously update BGP-advertised routes due to frequently
changing nexthop destinations, while also managing significant IPv6
traffic. The lockups occur during the traversal of the multipath
circular linked-list in the `fib6_select_path` function, particularly
while iterating through the siblings in the list. The issue typically
arises when the nodes of the linked list are unexpectedly deleted
concurrently on a different core—indicated by their 'next' and
'previous' elements pointing back to the node itself and their reference
count dropping to zero. This results in an infinite loop, leading to a
soft lockup that triggers a system panic via the watchdog timer.
Apply RCU primitives in the problematic code sections to resolve the
issue. Where necessary, update the references to fib6_siblings to
annotate or use the RCU APIs.
Include a test script that reproduces the issue. The script
periodically updates the routing table while generating a heavy load
of outgoing IPv6 traffic through multiple iperf3 clients. It
consistently induces infinite soft lockups within a couple of minutes.

98df6d5b877c ("net/mlx5: A write memory barrier is sufficient in EQ ci

On strongly ordered architectures, no barrier is actually needed because
the MMIO writes to the doorbell register are guaranteed to appear to the

macsec: add some of the lower device's features when offloading
This commit extends the set of netdevice features supported by macsec
devices when offload is enabled, which increases performance
significantly (for a single TCP stream: 17.5Gbps to 38.5Gbps on my
test machines).
Commit
c850240b6c41 ("net: macsec: report real_dev features when HW
offloading is enabled") previously attempted something similar, but
had to be reverted (commit
8bcd560ae878 ("Revert "net: macsec: report
real_dev features when HW offloading is enabled"")) because the set of
features it exposed was too large.
During initialization, all features are set, and they're then removed
via ndo_fix_features (macsec_fix_features). This allows the
offloadable features to be automatically enabled if offloading is
turned on after device creation.

Yunsheng Lin says:
====================
Replace page_frag with page_frag_cache (Part-1)
This is part 1 of "Replace page_frag with page_frag_cache",
which mainly contain refactoring and optimization for the
implementation of page_frag API before the replacing.
As the discussion in [1], it would be better to target net-next
tree to get more testing as all the callers page_frag API are
in networking, and the chance of conflicting with MM tree seems
low as implementation of page_frag API seems quite self-contained.
After [2], there are still two implementations for page frag:
1. mm/page_alloc.c: net stack seems to be using it in the
rx part with 'struct page_frag_cache' and the main API
being page_frag_alloc_align().
2. net/core/sock.c: net stack seems to be using it in the
tx part with 'struct page_frag' and the main API being
skb_page_frag_refill().
This patchset tries to unfiy the page frag implementation
by replacing page_frag with page_frag_cache for sk_page_frag()
first. net_high_order_alloc_disable_key for the implementation
in net/core/sock.c doesn't seems matter that much now as pcp
is also supported for high-order pages:
commit
44042b449872 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to
be stored on the per-cpu lists")
As the related change is mostly related to networking, so
targeting the net-next. And will try to replace the rest
of page_frag in the follow patchset.
After this patchset:
1. Unify the page frag implementation by taking the best out of
two the existing implementations: we are able to save some space
for the 'page_frag_cache' API user, and avoid 'get_page()' for
the old 'page_frag' API user.
2. Future bugfix and performance can be done in one place, hence
improving maintainability of page_frag's implementation.

mlx5/core: Schedule EQ comp tasklet only if necessary
Currently, the mlx5_eq_comp_int() interrupt handler schedules a tasklet
to call mlx5_cq_tasklet_cb() if it processes any completions. For CQs
whose completions don't need to be processed in tasklet context, this
adds unnecessary overhead. In a heavy TCP workload, we see 4% of CPU
time spent on the tasklet_trylock() in tasklet_action_common(), with a
smaller amount spent on the atomic operations in tasklet_schedule(),
tasklet_clear_sched(), and locking the spinlock in mlx5_cq_tasklet_cb().
TCP completions are handled by mlx5e_completion_event(), which schedules
NAPI to poll the queue, so they don't need tasklet processing.
Schedule the tasklet in mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet() instead to avoid this
overhead. mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet() is responsible for enqueuing the CQs
to be processed in tasklet context, so it can schedule the tasklet. CQs
that need tasklet processing have their interrupt comp handler set to
mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet(), so they will schedule the tasklet. CQs that
don't need tasklet processing won't schedule the tasklet. To avoid
scheduling the tasklet multiple times during the same interrupt, only
schedule the tasklet in mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet() if the tasklet work
queue was empty before the new CQ was pushed to it.
The additional branch in mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet(), called for each EQE,
may add a small cost for the userspace Infiniband CQs whose completions
are processed in tasklet context. But this seems worth it to avoid the
tasklet overhead for CQs that don't need it.
Note that the mlx4 driver works the same way: it schedules the tasklet
in mlx4_add_cq_to_tasklet() and only if the work queue was empty before.

Currently, the only way to implement it requires traversing

In order to solve this, this patchset adds a netdev->neighbours list,

The original use-case we encountered was mass-deletion of links (12K
