Subject: [RFC PATCH] eventdev: ensure 16-byte alignment for events
Date: Thu,  5 Oct 2023 12:51:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231005115101.12276-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)

The event structure in DPDK is 16-bytes in size, and events are
regularly passed as parameters directly rather than being passed as
pointers. To help compiler optimize correctly, we can explicitly request
16-byte alignment for events, which means that we should be able
to do aligned vector loads/stores (e.g. with SSE or Neon) when working
with those events.
