Only approvals of commiters is accepted for counting. You have only 1. But add noice for not sleep this thread xD
Is very important this pull request in general.

Maybe I'm not understanding this 100%.
Wasn't that speed already achievable by activating the hardware flow offload ?
Using speedtest.net i can achieve the connection limit on both my PCs lan connections(920mb down 420 up) and 525 down using my Pixel6 or Macbook Pro and all this while using the pppoe wan which is also taxing the CPU.
I am just curious if there is anything more to be gained by applying the patches as I would gladly flash the new firmware for extra speed and validation if needed .
If you have a flat network, you wont notice any speed difference. My network i have the AP routed, this is where the shortcut-fe comes in to help on routing speed.
I do encourage to learn on building openwrt from source if you have the capable pc - i've made it simple to use docker as my repo has scripts to build it for you.
Use 'make menuconfig' and select in the Luci section, applications part and enable luci-app-turboacc to enable it.
Thank you for the reply.
I will build them as my pc is reasonably powered(3700x with 32gb ram).
As I do have a flat network I don't think i will be of much help in testing the patches, however I will try some rules just for fun.
Regards

Which options should I enable?
Include Flow Offload
Include Shortcut-FE for ECM
Include Shortcut-FE
Include BBR CCA
Include DNS Forwarder
Include DNS Proxy
For just hw offload part just
Include Flow Offload
Include Shortcut-FE
Include BBR CCA
Dns ones if you want to cache or forward dns lookups

Just try it out, as it stands will be fine.
Do some iperf tests to see if it helps for you?
Hi, it conflicts with the shortcut-fe driver, so didnt see a need for it.

Good work, would appreciate if you could do a merge request of your changes - very simple just setup a gitlab account and create a repo clone of mine, then do a merge request.
Just so that owners of these devices can benefit from this driver.
Thanks
This fixed my problem. Since I see new developments on the issue should i do something new or just leave it as is for now? @db260179
Np, no more needed. Just need to push this disable flow control fix upstream.
Will take a while.

I'm confused. On upstream on master is working on back side and enable flow control on ports and on cpu port.
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=704c8426fb9d8de7ac8f41dd61e44092d7527620
Upstream before this patch had flow control and pause frames forced by default on the gmii but not the cpu port (6). This patch just adds the missing cpu port pause frame feature.
Anyone who had regular netdev timeout issues could test the latest snapshot images, but im skeptical this will solve anything.
So for now, in my repo im still disabling flow control by default.

decided to try openwrt on my er-x a few days ago. using OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r18974-8144f9c665
for 3 days without issue, then decided to enable hardware offload. captured 2 crashes the first day of using the offloads and have since disabled hardware offload (leaving software enabled).
