Subject: RE: [PATCH] mbuf: add mbuf physical address field to dynamic field
Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2022 11:53:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DM6PR12MB3753AB26B63E177F4F885EDADFBD9@DM6PR12MB3753.namprd12.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Yr7C+RafuY2lZFlB@platinum>
Hi,
Just to note, some PMDs do not use physical address field at all.
As an example - mlx5 PMD (and it is far from being the only one)
could take an advantage from this patch. Nonetheless, I tend to agree -
for the whole DPDK framework it looks risky. I had the similar thoughts
about removing iova field and I did not dare to propose 😊
With best regards,
Slava
