Hi Mike,
the commit log message above seems a bit awkward to read. If I understand it
correctly, would the below suggestion be a shorter, clearer equivalent?
Prefetch RX and TX queue variables in ethdev before driver function call
This has been measured to produce higher throughput and reduced latency
in RFC 2544 throughput tests.
Or perhaps you could suggest yourself some similar wording. It would also be
good to clarify with what applications the improvements were seen - was it using
testpmd or l3fwd or something else?
Regards,
/Bruce
