X-BeenThere: dev@dpdk.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list List-Id: patches and discussions about DPDK List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2014 15:45:43 -0000 This change splits the mbuf in two to move the pool and next pointers to the second cache line. This frees up 16 bytes in first cache line.
