Subject: [PATCH wireless-next v3 7/7] wifi: rt2x00usb: use a threaded NAPI with GRO for RX
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 00:45:41 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112164544.3176458-8-hjf3108@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112164544.3176458-1-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")

The RX locking is referenced from commit 3298b1f866fb ("mt76: use
ieee80211_rx_list to pass frames to the network stack as a batch") and
commit 5b8ccdfb943f ("wifi: mt76: add missing locking to protect
against concurrent rx/status calls")

Test results:
   before after
TX 30.5   30.5
RX 80.9   161.7
