Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] [RFC] vhost: micro vhost optimization
Date: Mon, 2 May 2016 17:46:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462236378-7604-1-git-send-email-yuanhan.liu@linux.intel.com> (raw)
Here is a small patch set does the micro optimization, which brings about
10% performance boost in my 64B packet testing, with the following topo:
pkt generator <----> NIC <-----> Virtio NIC
Patch 1 pre updates the used ring and update them in batch. It should be
feasible from my understanding: there will be no issue, guest driver will
not start processing them as far as we haven't updated the "used->idx"
yet. I could miss something though.
Patch 2 saves one check for small packets (that can be hold in one desc
buf and mbuf).
Patch 3 moves several frequently used fields into one cache line, for
better cache sharing.
Note that this patch set is based on my latest vhost ABI refactoring patchset.
