[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/8] Optimize qede use of rx/tx_entries

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/8] Optimize qede use of rx/tx_entries

[Balazs Nemeth]

This patch set optimizes qede_{rx,tx}_entry and introduces
rte_pktmbuf_free_bulk in qede_process_tx_compl. The overall performance
improvement depends on the use-case; in a physical-virtual-physical test
on a ThunderX2 99xx system with two SMT threads used in ovs,
and two cores used in a vm, an improvement of around 2.55% is observed
due to this patch set.

Balazs Nemeth (8):
  net/qede: remove flags from qede_tx_entry and simplify to rte_mbuf
  net/qede: avoid repeatedly calling ecore_chain_get_cons_idx
  net/qede: assume txq->sw_tx_ring[idx] is never null in
    qede_free_tx_pkt
  net/qede: inline qede_free_tx_pkt to prepare for rte_pktmbuf_free_bulk
  net/qede: use rte_pktmbuf_free_bulk instead of rte_pktmbuf_free
  net/qede: prefetch txq->hw_cons_ptr
  net/qede: prefetch next packet to free
  net/qede: remove page_offset from struct qede_rx_entry and simplify

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/8] net/qede: remove flags from qede_tx_entry and simplify to rte_mbuf

[Balazs Nemeth]

Each sw_tx_ring entry was of type struct qede_tx_entry:

struct qede_tx_entry {
       struct rte_mbuf *mbuf;
       uint8_t flags;
};

Leaving the unused flags member here has a few performance implications.
First, each qede_tx_entry takes up more memory which has caching
implications as less entries fit in a cache line while multiple entries
are frequently handled in batches. Second, an array of qede_tx_entry
entries is incompatible with existing APIs that expect an array of
rte_mbuf pointers. Consequently, an extra array need to be allocated
before calling such APIs and each entry needs to be copied over.

This patch omits the flags field and replaces the qede_tx_entry entry
by a simple rte_mbuf pointer.

[Balazs Nemeth]

The ring txq->sw_tx_ring is managed with txq->sw_tx_cons. As long as
txq->sw_tx_cons is correct, there is no need to check if
txq->sw_tx_ring[idx] is null explicitly.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 5/8] net/qede: use rte_pktmbuf_free_bulk instead of rte_pktmbuf_free

[Balazs Nemeth]

rte_pktmbuf_free_bulk calls rte_mempool_put_bulk with the number of
pending packets to return to the mempool. In contrast, rte_pktmbuf_free
calls rte_mempool_put that calls rte_mempool_put_bulk with one object.
An important performance related downside of adding one packet at a time
to the mempool is that on each call, the per-core cache pointer needs to
be read from tls while a single rte_mempool_put_bulk only reads from the
tls once.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 8/8] net/qede: remove page_offset from struct qede_rx_entry and simplify

[Balazs Nemeth]

The member page_offset is always zero. Having this in the qede_rx_entry
makes it larger than it needs to be and this has cache performance
implications so remove that field. In addition, since qede_rx_entry only
has an rte_mbuf*, remove the definition of qede_rx_entry.

One checkpatch warn I see in patchwork output, probably worth fixing:

Hi @Balazs Nemeth

Please fix the following checkpatc.shh and check-git-log.sh issues and
add Igor reviewed by in next version.
I will merge the next version with the fixes. Updaed  this series
