Hello Bruce,
I'm a little bit concerned about performance issues that would arise if
these fields would go to the 2nd cache line.
For exampe, l2_len and l3_len fields are used by librte_ip_frag to find
L3 and L4 headers position inside mbuf data. Thus, these values should
be calculated by NIC offload, or by user on RX leg.
Secondly, (I wouldn't say on behalf of everyone, but) we use these
fields in our libraries as well for needs of classification. For
instance, in case you try to support other ethertypes which are not
supported by NIC offload (MPLS, IPX etc), but you still need to point
out L3 and L3 headers.
If my concerns are consistent, what would be possible suggestions?
