I look at the "spikes" of the aggregated graph. Not sure if it's the right way to interpret the graph though. It will be much better if Intel can add the proper C-states table for JSL and EHL.

They are called like this because they come from ACPI _CST.

So what's missing in the above, from the technical standpoint?

Okay, so the problem statement is that on this machine with some ethernet controller and some workload, performance is better when you use just C1 and not C1E (or deeper) states. And so you want to have the option of accessing C1 without the overhead of C1E? Presumably you don't care about the power savings of the deeper states, or you are using PM_QOS to avoid deep c-states at run time? > Can we use that for EHL and JSL? Yes. You may also have a BIOS option to achieve the same goal, depending on the platform.)

I tried to use cpu_latency_qos in the network driver's NAPI poll, but only saw marginal improvement to around 830Mbps. Hitting the 940Mbps is still the goal here. > > > Can we use that for EHL and JSL? > > Yes. Is it plausible to disable C1E promotion while using ACPI idle driver?

I am seeing three different platforms from different vendors hitting the same issue, so it's better to disable C1e for these platforms. Kai-Heng > > -- > Len Brown, Intel >

It would require the driver to recognize the processors in question without providing C-state tables, but it should be doable. Next week I'll be offline, I'll look into this when I'm back. > Or provide a C-state table in intel_idle and update the states via _CST?

I see. Thanks!

Without proper C-state support, the CPU can take long time to exit to C0 to handle IRQ and perform DMA. The data collect via wult shows the latency is similar to Broxton, so use the existing table to support C-state on JSL and EHL.
