Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/5] consistent PMD batching behaviour
Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2017 13:02:30 +0000	[thread overview]

> The rte_eth_tx_burst() function in the file Rte_ethdev.h is invoked to
> transmit output packets on the output queue for DPDK applications as
> follows.
> 
> static inline uint16_t
> rte_eth_tx_burst(uint8_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id,
>                  struct rte_mbuf **tx_pkts, uint16_t nb_pkts);
> 
> Note: The fourth parameter nb_pkts: The number of packets to transmit.
> 
> The rte_eth_tx_burst() function returns the number of packets it actually
> sent. Most of PMD drivers can support the policy "send as many packets to
> transmit as possible" at the PMD level. but the few of PMDs have some sort
> of artificial limits for the pkts sent successfully. For example, VHOST tx
> burst size is limited to 32 packets. Some rx_burst functions have the
> similar problem. The main benefit is consistent batching behavior for user
> to simplify their logic and avoid misusage at the application level, there
> is unified rte_eth_tx/rx_burst interface already, there is no reason for
> inconsistent behaviors.
> This patchset fixes it via adding wrapper function at the PMD level.
> 
> Changes in V2:
> 1. rename ixgbe, i40e and fm10k vec function XXX_xmit_pkts_vec to new name
> XXX_xmit_fixed_burst_vec, new wrapper functions use original name
> XXX_xmit_pkts_vec according to Bruce's suggestion.
> 
> 2. simplify the code to avoid the if or if/else.
