Now that the TSO helper API has been introduced, this commit makes use of it to add support for software TSO in this driver. This feature allows to improve outbound throughput performance significantly. Running iperf tests shows a 30% improvement, tested on a Kirkwood Openblocks A6 board. $ ethtool -K eth0 tso off $ iperf -c 192.168.0.45 -t 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.0.45, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 43.8 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 192.168.0.159 port 46389 connected with 192.168.0.45 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0- 3.0 sec 217 MBytes 607 Mbits/sec $ ethtool -K eth0 tso on $ iperf -c 192.168.0.45 -t 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.0.45, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 43.8 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 192.168.0.159 port 46390 connected with 192.168.0.45 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0- 3.0 sec 336 MBytes 938 Mbits/sec This commit is just an example of the usage of the TSO API, it works fine but needs some more work. In particular, the descriptor unmapping path must avoid unmapping the TSO headers. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
