net: dev: introduce support for sch BYPASS for lockless qdisc
With commit c5ad119f ("net: sched: pfifo_fast use skb_array") pfifo_fast no longer benefit from the TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS optimization. Due to retpolines the cost of the enqueue()/dequeue() pair has become relevant and we observe measurable regression for the uncontended scenario when the packet-rate is below line rate. After commit 46b1c18f ("net: sched: put back q.qlen into a single location") we can check for empty qdisc with a reasonably fast operation even for nolock qdiscs. This change extends TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS support to nolock qdisc. The new chunk of code mirrors closely the existing one for traditional qdisc, leveraging a newly introduced helper to read atomically the qdisc length. Tested with pktgen in queue xmit mode, with pfifo_fast, a MQ device, and MQ root qdisc: threads vanilla patched kpps kpps 1 2465 2889 2 4304 5188 4 7898 9589 Same as above, but with a single queue device: threads vanilla patched kpps kpps 1 2556 2827 2 2900 2900 4 5000 5000 8 4700 4700 No mesaurable changes in the contended scenarios, and more 10% improvement in the uncontended ones. v1 -> v2: - rebased after flag name change Signed-off-by:Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Tested-by:
