Subject: [PATCH 06/10] net: emac: batch stats, eliminate modulo, tighten barrier in RX poll
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 21:16:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630041634.284127-7-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630041634.284127-1-rosenp@gmail.com>

Three small hot-path changes in emac_poll_rx():

- Batch per-packet 64-bit stat updates into local accumulators and
  write dev->stats once after the poll loop, avoiding expensive
  load-linked/store-conditional sequences on 32-bit PPC for every
  received packet.

- Replace slot = (slot + 1) % NUM_RX_BUFF with a simple
  if (++slot == NUM_RX_BUFF) branch, avoiding a div/mul by a
  non-power-of-2 constant.

- Use dma_rmb() instead of mb() when ordering the ctrl vs. data_len
  read of the coherent RX descriptor.  The device writes the
  descriptor fields in-order and clears MAL_RX_CTRL_EMPTY last;
  a read barrier is sufficient.
