The NetDIM library, currently leveraged by an array of NICs, delivers excellent acceleration benefits. Nevertheless, NICs vary significantly in their dim profile list prerequisites. Specifically, virtio-net backends may present diverse sw or hw device implementation, making a one-size-fits-all parameter list impractical. On Alibaba Cloud, the virtio DPU's performance under the default DIM profile falls short of expectations, partly due to a mismatch in parameter configuration. I also noticed that ice/idpf/ena and other NICs have customized profilelist or placed some restrictions on dim capabilities. Motivated by this, I tried adding new params for "ethtool -C" that provides a per-device control to modify and access a device's interrupt parameters. Usage ======== The target NIC is named ethx. Assume that ethx only declares support for rx profile setting (with DIM_PROFILE_RX flag set in profile_flags) and supports modification of usec and pkt fields. 1. Query the currently customized list of the device $ ethtool -c ethx ... rx-profile: {.usec = 1, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 8, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 64, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 128, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 256, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,} tx-profile: n/a 2. Tune $ ethtool -C ethx rx-profile 1,1,n_2,n,n_3,3,n_4,4,n_n,5,n "n" means do not modify this field. $ ethtool -c ethx ... rx-profile: {.usec = 1, .pkts = 1, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 2, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 3, .pkts = 3, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 4, .pkts = 4, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 256, .pkts = 5, .comps = n/a,} tx-profile: n/a 3. Hint If the device does not support some type of customized dim profiles, the corresponding "n/a" will display. If the "n/a" field is being modified, -EOPNOTSUPP will be reported.
