Subject: [PATCH iwl-next v2 02/12] idpf: use a saner limit for default number of queues to allocate
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2025 18:45:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250624164515.2663137-3-aleksander.lobakin@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250624164515.2663137-1-aleksander.lobakin@intel.com>
Currently, the maximum number of queues available for one vport is 16.
This is hardcoded, but then the function calculating the optimal number
of queues takes min(16, num_online_cpus()).
In order to be able to allocate more queues, which will be then used for
XDP, stop hardcoding 16 and rely on what the device gives us. Instead of
num_online_cpus(), which is considered suboptimal since at least 2013,
use netif_get_num_default_rss_queues() to still have free queues in the
pool.
nr_cpu_ids number of Tx queues are needed only for lockless XDP sending,
the regular stack doesn't benefit from that anyhow.
On a 128-thread Xeon, this now gives me 32 regular Tx queues and leaves
224 free for XDP (128 of which will handle XDP_TX, .ndo_xdp_xmit(), and
XSk xmit when enabled).
