The LAN743x/PCI11xxx DMA descriptors are always 4 dwords long, but the device supports placing the descriptors in memory back to back or reserving space in between them using its DMA_DESCRIPTOR_SPACE (DSPACE) configurable hardware setting. Currently DSPACE is unnecessarily set to match the host's L1 cache line size, resulting in space reserved in between descriptors in most platforms and causing a suboptimal behavior (single PCIe Mem transaction per descriptor). By changing the setting to DSPACE=16 many descriptors can be packed in a single PCIe Mem transaction resulting in a massive performance improvement in bidirectional tests without any negative effects. Tested and verified improvements on x64 PC and several ARM platforms (typical data below) Test setup 1: x64 PC with LAN7430 ---> x64 PC iperf3 UDP bidirectional with DSPACE set to L1 CACHE Size: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID][Role] Interval Transfer Bitrate [ 5][TX-C] 0.00-10.00 sec 170 MBytes 143 Mbits/sec sender [ 5][TX-C] 0.00-10.04 sec 169 MBytes 141 Mbits/sec receiver [ 7][RX-C] 0.00-10.00 sec 1.02 GBytes 876 Mbits/sec sender [ 7][RX-C] 0.00-10.04 sec 1.02 GBytes 870 Mbits/sec receiver iperf3 UDP bidirectional with DSPACE set to 16 Bytes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID][Role] Interval Transfer Bitrate [ 5][TX-C] 0.00-10.00 sec 1.11 GBytes 956 Mbits/sec sender [ 5][TX-C] 0.00-10.04 sec 1.11 GBytes 951 Mbits/sec receiver [ 7][RX-C] 0.00-10.00 sec 1.10 GBytes 948 Mbits/sec sender [ 7][RX-C] 0.00-10.04 sec 1.10 GBytes 942 Mbits/sec receiver Test setup 2 : RK3399 with LAN7430 ---> x64 PC RK3399 Spec: The SOM-RK3399 is ARM module designed and developed by FriendlyElec.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
