Also, it turns out that some descriptors prefetching are either badly placed, or useless, last part of the series fixes that. With the series applied, I get between 0 and 4% gain depending on the benchmark (testpmd txonly/rxonly/io). Thanks to Jason for reporting the missing read barriers. Changes since v1: ================= - Drop volatile removal patch (Ilya) - Improve commit messages for RMB patches (Ilya) Maxime Coquelin (4): vhost: enforce avail index and desc read ordering vhost: enforce desc flags and content read ordering vhost: prefetch descriptor after the read barrier vhost: remove useless prefetch for packed ring descriptor lib/librte_vhost/virtio_net.c | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) -- 2.17.2
