Subject: [PATCH] net/iavf: remove extra copy step in Rx bulk path
Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2022 22:11:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220324221132.10055-1-kathleen.capella@arm.com> (raw)

In the Rx bulk path, packets which are taken from the HW ring, are first
copied to the stage data structure and then later copied from the stage
to the rx_pkts array. For the number of packets requested immediately
by the receiving function, this two-step process adds extra overhead
that is not necessary.

Instead, put requested number of packets directly into the rx_pkts array
and only stage excess packets. On N1SDP with 1 core/port, l3fwd saw up
to 4% performance improvement. On x86, no difference in performance was
observed.
