Subject: [PATCH wireless-next 8/8] wifi: rt2x00usb: use a threaded NAPI with GRO for RX
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 21:47:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029134752.1299130-9-hjf3108@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029134752.1299130-1-hjf3108@gmail.com>
GRO makes sense now that RX aggregation is enabled, since multiple
frames arrive at once.
This code is referenced from commit 5323d3e50c20
("wifi: mt76: mt76u: use a threaded NAPI for the RX path")
Test results:
before after
TX 30.5 30.5
RX 80.9 161.7
