Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] net/ice: increase the maximum of RX/TX descriptors
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2024 16:06:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241030150630.186805-2-sismis@cesnet.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241030150630.186805-1-sismis@cesnet.cz>
Intel PMDs are capped by default to only 4096 RX/TX descriptors.
This can be limiting for applications requiring a bigger buffer
capabilities. By bufferring more packets with RX/TX
descriptors, the applications can better handle the processing
peaks.
Setting ice max descriptors to 8192 - 32 as per datasheet:
Register name: QLEN (Rx-Queue)
Description: Receive Queue Length
Defines the size of the descriptor queue in descriptors units
from eight descriptors (QLEN=0x8) up to 8K descriptors minus
32 (QLEN=0x1FE0).
QLEN Restrictions: When the PXE_MODE flag in the
GLLAN_RCTL_0 register is cleared, the QLEN must be whole
number of 32 descriptors. When the PXE_MODE flag is set, the
QLEN can be one of the following options:
Up to 4 PFs, QLEN can be set to: 8, 16, 24 or 32 descriptors.
Up to 8 PFs, QLEN can be set to: 8 or 16 descriptors
