I'm surprised too, Phil, but looks like it is actually making things worse. I used Connect-X 6DX on aarch64:
Linux dragon71-bf 5.4.31-mlnx.15.ge938819 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 2 17:01:15 IDT 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
Traffic generator sends 60 bytes packets and DUT executes the following command:
arm64-bluefield-linuxapp-gcc/build/app/test-pmd/testpmd -n 4 -w 0000:03:00.1,mprq_en=1,rxqs_min_mprq=1 -w 0000:03:00.0,mprq_en=1,rxqs_min_mprq=1 -c 0xe -- --burst=64 --mbcache=512 -i --nb-cores=1 --rxq=1 --txq=1 --txd=256 --rxd=256 --auto-start --rss-udp
Without a patch I'm getting 3.2mpps, and only 2.9mpps when the patch is applied.
Regards,
Alex
