Subject: [dpdk-dev] What's the point of RTE_MBUF_PREFETCH_TO_FREE()?
Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2017 13:28:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+Qp4XwDBVuFBoJe2xsw74PV+=K_2F5XxfOw9UqoLH072npbiQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

It seems to be used to prefetch the mbuf in preparation for a free of an
mbuf.

But RTE_MBUF_PREFETCH_TO_FREE() currently does a prefetch for the
ffirst cache line in the mbuf,  but doesn't a free do a put to the mbuf's
mempool?

And isn't the mempool reference in the mbuf's second cache line?

regards,
mts.
