Generic DIM From: Tal Gilboa and Yamin Fridman Implement net DIM over a generic DIM library, add RDMA DIM dim.h lib exposes an implementation of the DIM algorithm for dynamically-tuned interrupt moderation for networking interfaces. We want a similar functionality for other protocols, which might need to optimize interrupts differently. Main motivation here is DIM for NVMf storage protocol. Current DIM implementation prioritizes reducing interrupt overhead over latency. Also, in order to reduce DIM's own overhead, the algorithm might take some time to identify it needs to change profiles. While this is acceptable for networking, it might not work well on other scenarios. Here we propose a new structure to DIM. The idea is to allow a slightly modified functionality without the risk of breaking Net DIM behavior for netdev. We verified there are no degradations in current DIM behavior with the modified solution. Suggested solution: - Common logic is implemented in lib/dim/dim.c - Net DIM (existing) logic is implemented in lib/dim/net_dim.c, which uses the common logic in dim.c - Any new DIM logic will be implemented in "lib/dim/new_dim.c". This new implementation will expose modified versions of profiles, dim_step() and dim_decision(). - DIM API is declared in include/linux/dim.h for all implementations. Pros for this solution are: - Zero impact on existing net_dim implementation and usage - Relatively more code reuse (compared to two separate solutions) - Increased extensibility Required for dependencies in the next series.

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.
