[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/2] ixgbe: vector pmd fixes

[Bruce Richardson]

This patch set contains small fixes for issues with the vector PMD.
The issues and the fixes for them are described in each patch individually.

Bruce Richardson (2):
  ixgbe: remove static qualifier for thread safety
  ixgbe: always perform vec RX setup if vpmd enabled

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] ixgbe: remove static qualifier for thread safety

[Bruce Richardson]

Remove the "static" prefix to the template mbuf variable in
ixgbe_rxq_vec_setup function. This will then allow different
threads to initialize different RX queues at the same time,
without one overwriting the other's data.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] ixgbe: always perform vec RX setup if vpmd enabled

[Bruce Richardson]

If the vector pmd option is turned on in the compile time config file,
then always call the vector rxq setup, since we can now use the vector
PMD for receiving jumbo frames that need chained mbufs, a.k.a scattered
packets. Up till now, this function was not being called when receiving
scattered packets, potentially leading to problems with mbufs not being
properly initialized.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] ixgbe: remove static qualifier for thread safety

[Masaru Oki]

Hi,

in this code, pointer of local variable (mb_def) is returned by your changes.
mb_def should be static for each thread.

Actually, no. A copy is made of 8 bytes of the mb_def variable and stored as 
an mbuf initializer inside the rxq structure. No use of the memory occupied 
by mb_def is made outside of the function, so the value does not need to be 
static.

Oh, sorry, you are right.  I had missed first * for copy.
thank you.
