Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/4] virtio: don't use unlikely for normal tx stuff
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2015 13:58:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441400308-5725-3-git-send-email-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1441400308-5725-1-git-send-email-stephen@networkplumber.org>

Don't use unlikely() for VLAN or ring getting full.
GCC will not optimize code in unlikely paths and since these can
happen with normal code that can hurt performance.
