Subject: [dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2 1/8] net/memif: do not update local copy of tail in tx function
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 14:03:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200928190334.40624-1-honnappa.nagarahalli@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200921192254.20560-1-honnappa.nagarahalli@arm.com>

In the case of S2M queues, the receiver synchronizes with the sender
(i.e. informs of the packets it has received) using ring->tail.
Hence, the sender does not need to update last_tail.

In the case of M2S queues, the receiver uses last_tail to
keep track of the descriptors it has received. The
sender is not required to update the last_tail. Updating
the last_tail makes it a shared variable between the
transmitter and receiver affecting the performance.
