Bluetooth: btusb: Lower passive lescan interval on Marvell 88W8897 #88

Conversation

The Marvell 88W8897 combined wifi and bluetooth card (pcie+usb version)
is used in a lot of Microsoft Surface devices, and all those devices
suffer from very low 2.4GHz wifi connection speeds while bluetooth is
enabled. The reason for that is that the default passive scanning
interval for Bluetooth Low Energy devices is quite high in Linux
(interval of 60 msec and scan window of 30 msec, see hci_core.c), and
the Marvell chip is known for its bad bt+wifi coexisting performance.

So decrease that passive scan interval and make the scan window shorter
on this particular device to allow for spending more time transmitting
wifi signals: The new scan interval is 250 msec (0x190 * 0.625 msec) and
the new scan window is 6.25 msec (0xa * 0,625 msec).

This change has a very large impact on the 2.4GHz wifi speeds and gets
it up to performance comparable with the Windows driver, which seems to
apply a similar quirk.

The interval and window length were tested and found to work very well
with a lot of Bluetooth Low Energy devices, including the Surface Pen, a
Bluetooth Speaker and two modern Bluetooth headphones. All devices were
discovered immediately after turning them on. Even lower values were
also tested, but they introduced longer delays until devices get
discovered.

One very small nit-pick (if you want to fix that), but overall good!

Maybe add a comment explaining those values, similar to the commit description (or you could just straight copy)? Without that they seem a bit magic-y.

Perfect, thanks!

The reason above issue  is 'buf->list' has 2,100,000 nodes, occupied cpu lead
to soft lockup.
To solve this issue, we need add schedule point when do while loop in
'__io_remove_buffers'.
After add  schedule point we do regression, get follow data.

[ Upstream commit db52f57 ]

Branch data available to BPF programs can be very useful to get stack traces
out of userspace application.

Commit fff7b64 ("bpf: Add bpf_read_branch_records() helper") added BPF
support to capture branch records in x86. Enable this feature also for other
architectures as well by removing checks specific to x86.

If an architecture doesn't support branch records, bpf_read_branch_records()
still has appropriate checks and it will return an -EINVAL in that scenario.
Based on UAPI helper doc in include/uapi/linux/bpf.h, unsupported architectures
should return -ENOENT in such case. Hence, update the appropriate check to
return -ENOENT instead.

Selftest 'perf_branches' result on power9 machine which has the branch stacks
support:

commit fd72761 upstream.

powerpc sets up PF_KTHREAD and PF_IO_WORKER with a NULL pt_regs, which
from my (arguably very short) checking is not commonly done for other
archs. This is fine, except when PF_IO_WORKER's have been created and
the task does something that causes a coredump to be generated. Then we
get this crash:

Check for a valid pt_regs in both ppc_get/ppr_set, and return an error
if not set. The actual error value doesn't seem to be important here, so
just pick -EINVAL.
