Bug ID: 1432
Summary: net/tap: use kernel for TSO offload
Product: DPDK
Version: 24.03
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: ethdev
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: stephen@networkplumber.org
Target Milestone: ---
The kernel TAP device supports TSO for doing segmentation offload.
This should be used instead of doing GSO inside the TAP PMD because it will
improve performance.
If using kernel TSO, no copy is necessary in PMD and only a single syscall
would be needed for the TSO mbuf. For example, sending a 64K TSO mbuf would
become single writev(); instead of multiple allocations and copies followed by
multiple writev's.
Doing this would also simplfy code and error handling.
