Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix multi-segment inline for the first segment
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2021 19:40:49 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210622164049.9191-1-viacheslavo@nvidia.com> (raw)

If the first segment in the multi-segment packet is short
and below the inline threshold it should be inline into
the WQE to improve the performance. For example, the T-Rex
traffic generator might use small leading segments to
handle packet headers and performance was affected.

Fixes: cacb44a09962 ("net/mlx5: add no-inline Tx flag")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
