From: Felix Fietkau Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2022 11:43:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: increase quantum for airtime scheduler Given the typical AQL budget and queue length, a quantum of 256 with the default station weight often requires iterating over all queues frequently, until one of them becomes eligible. Improve performance by using 8 times station weight as scheduler quantum Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau --- --- a/net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h +++ b/net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h @@ -103,6 +103,8 @@ ieee80211_sta_keep_active(struct sta_inf return time_before_eq(jiffies, sta->airtime[ac].last_active + HZ / 10); } +#define AIRTIME_QUANTUM_SHIFT 3 + struct ieee80211_bss { u32 device_ts_beacon, device_ts_presp; --- a/net/mac80211/tx.c +++ b/net/mac80211/tx.c @@ -4081,7 +4081,7 @@ struct ieee80211_txq *ieee80211_next_txq if (deficit < 0) sta->airtime[txqi->txq.ac].deficit += - sta->airtime_weight; + sta->airtime_weight << AIRTIME_QUANTUM_SHIFT; if (deficit < 0 || !aql_check) { list_move_tail(&txqi->schedule_order, @@ -4224,7 +4224,8 @@ bool ieee80211_txq_may_transmit(struct i } sta = container_of(iter->txq.sta, struct sta_info, sta); if (ieee80211_sta_deficit(sta, ac) < 0) - sta->airtime[ac].deficit += sta->airtime_weight; + sta->airtime[ac].deficit += sta->airtime_weight << + AIRTIME_QUANTUM_SHIFT; list_move_tail(&iter->schedule_order, &local->active_txqs[ac]); } @@ -4232,7 +4233,7 @@ bool ieee80211_txq_may_transmit(struct i if (sta->airtime[ac].deficit >= 0) goto out; - sta->airtime[ac].deficit += sta->airtime_weight; + sta->airtime[ac].deficit += sta->airtime_weight << AIRTIME_QUANTUM_SHIFT; list_move_tail(&txqi->schedule_order, &local->active_txqs[ac]); spin_unlock_bh(&local->active_txq_lock[ac]);
