Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] virtio: use zeroed memory for simple TX header
Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2016 19:11:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1459822261-95284-1-git-send-email-rlane@bigswitch.com> (raw)
For simple TX the virtio-net header must be zeroed, but it was using memory
that had been initialized with indirect descriptor tables. This resulted in
"unsupported gso type" errors from librte_vhost.
We can use the same memory for every descriptor to save cachelines in the
vswitch.
Fixes: 6dc5de3a (virtio: use indirect ring elements)
