Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/4] net/memif: do not update local copy of tail in tx function
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2020 14:22:51 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200921192254.20560-1-honnappa.nagarahalli@arm.com> (raw)
In the case of S2M queues, the receiver synchronizes with the sender
(i.e. informs of the packets it has received) using ring->tail.
Hence, the sender does not need to update last_tail.
In the case of M2S queues, the receiver uses last_tail to
keep track of the descriptors it has received. The
sender is not required to update the last_tail. Updating
the last_tail makes it a shared variable between the
transmitter and receiver affecting the performance.
