+Subject: [PATCH] net: extract napi poll functionality to __napi_poll()
+
+This commit introduces a new function __napi_poll() which does the main
+logic of the existing napi_poll() function, and will be called by other
+functions in later commits.
+This idea and implementation is done by Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name> and
+is proposed as part of the patch to move napi work to work_queue
+context.
+This commit by itself is a code restructure.

+Subject: [PATCH] net: implement threaded-able napi poll loop support
+
+This patch allows running each napi poll loop inside its own
+kernel thread.
+The kthread is created during netif_napi_add() if dev->threaded
+is set. And threaded mode is enabled in napi_enable(). We will
+provide a way to set dev->threaded and enable threaded mode
+without a device up/down in the following patch.
+
+Once that threaded mode is enabled and the kthread is
+started, napi_schedule() will wake-up such thread instead
+of scheduling the softirq.
+
+The threaded poll loop behaves quite likely the net_rx_action,
+but it does not have to manipulate local irqs and uses
+an explicit scheduling point based on netdev_budget.

+Subject: [PATCH] net: add sysfs attribute to control napi threaded mode
+
+This patch adds a new sysfs attribute to the network device class.
+Said attribute provides a per-device control to enable/disable the
+threaded mode for all the napi instances of the given network device,
+without the need for a device up/down.
+User sets it to 1 or 0 to enable or disable threaded mode.
+Note: when switching between threaded and the current softirq based mode
+for a napi instance, it will not immediately take effect if the napi is
+currently being polled. The mode switch will happen for the next time
+napi_schedule() is called.

+Subject: [PATCH] net: fix race between napi kthread mode and busy poll
+
+Currently, napi_thread_wait() checks for NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit to
+determine if the kthread owns this napi and could call napi->poll() on
+it. However, if socket busy poll is enabled, it is possible that the
+busy poll thread grabs this SCHED bit (after the previous napi->poll()
+invokes napi_complete_done() and clears SCHED bit) and tries to poll
+on the same napi. napi_disable() could grab the SCHED bit as well.
+This patch tries to fix this race by adding a new bit
+NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED in napi->state. This bit gets set in
+____napi_schedule() if the threaded mode is enabled, and gets cleared
+in napi_complete_done(), and we only poll the napi in kthread if this
+bit is set. This helps distinguish the ownership of the napi between
+kthread and other scenarios and fixes the race issue.

+Subject: [PATCH] net: fix hangup on napi_disable for threaded napi
+
+napi_disable() is subject to an hangup, when the threaded
+mode is enabled and the napi is under heavy traffic.
+
+If the relevant napi has been scheduled and the napi_disable()
+kicks in before the next napi_threaded_wait() completes - so
+that the latter quits due to the napi_disable_pending() condition,
+the existing code leaves the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit set and the
+napi_disable() loop waiting for such bit will hang.
+
+This patch addresses the issue by dropping the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE
+bit test in napi_thread_wait(). The later napi_threaded_poll()
+iteration will take care of clearing the NAPI_STATE_SCHED.
+
+This also addresses a related problem reported by Jakub:
+before this patch a napi_disable()/napi_enable() pair killed
+the napi thread, effectively disabling the threaded mode.
+On the patched kernel napi_disable() simply stops scheduling
+the relevant thread.
+
+v1 -> v2:
+ - let the main napi_thread_poll() loop clear the SCHED bit

-Subject: [PATCH] net: add support for threaded NAPI polling
-
-For some drivers (especially 802.11 drivers), doing a lot of work in the NAPI
-poll function does not perform well. Since NAPI poll is bound to the CPU it
-was scheduled from, we can easily end up with a few very busy CPUs spending
-most of their time in softirq/ksoftirqd and some idle ones.
-
-Introduce threaded NAPI for such drivers based on a workqueue. The API is the
-same except for using netif_threaded_napi_add instead of netif_napi_add.
-
-In my tests with mt76 on MT7621 using threaded NAPI + a thread for tx scheduling
-improves LAN->WLAN bridging throughput by 10-50%. Throughput without threaded
-NAPI is wildly inconsistent, depending on the CPU that runs the tx scheduling
-thread.
-
-With threaded NAPI it seems stable and consistent (and higher than the best
-results I got without it).
-
-Based on a patch by Hillf Danton
