With the below commit, common isr is split into tx and rx, but in
rx isr tx interrupt is also disabled. So tx packets are not handled
during rx interrupts and rx napi completion. Fixing by disabling on
rx interrupt in rx isr.

why does this fix that commit ? What was the regression ? So RX IRQ fire
and both RX and TX are disabled, sure that's bad. But it should cause
lower throughput. At a minimum, I think your commit log needs some work.

Also, disable_irq_nosync() shouldn't really be needed, you could just
mask the IRQ in the IRQ Enable register, but I guess that'd be v4.3
material.

Agreed, will change the commit and resubmit the patch as it affects
performance only and not a regression.

This was needed because there is a latch inbetween CPSW interrupt line
and Interrupt Controller (to convert from pulse interrupt to level
interrupt), because of this even though interrupt is disabled from the
IP, CPU is held up in isr as it is not cleared or masked to Interrupt
controller. Because of disable_irq_nosync() was added initially. I will
revisit this but as you said it will be for 4.3

With this patch I am able to see +3 Mbps with omap2plus_defconfig and
+40Mbps with having AM43xx SoC only and removing some kernel debugging
options.

still, that shouldn't be needed. Just mask and clear the IRQ straight
away, then handle it.

looks like this should be in commit log in some shape or form.
