[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] examples/l3fwd: fix NEON instructions

[Guduri Prathyusha]

To group consecutive packets with same destination port in bursts of 4
neon intrinsic data types dp1 and dp2 are calculated such that if
dst_port[]={a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i...} dp1 should contain: <a,b,c,d> and
dp2 should contain: <b,c,d,e> in the first iteration. dp1 should
be <e,f,g,h> and dp2 should be <f,g,h,i> in the next iteration. dp2 in
the last iteration should be <w,x,y,y>.

Whereas the existing code incorrectly calculates dp1 as <d,e,f,g> from
second iteration and thus incorrect calculation of dp2 as <d,e,f,f>
in the last iteration.

This patch fixes the incorrect ARM NEON instructions on dp1 and dp2.

Fixes: 569b290cdb36 ("examples/l3fwd: add NEON implementation")

Can you write it as "dp1 = vextq_u16(dp2, dp1, FWDSTEP - 1)"? It's my typo.

Same as above.

Sorry, I don't think you need to change this line. Please ignore my
comment about it in the last email.

Thanks for the quick review. dp1 changed as you said and leaving dp2 as
is solves the issue. Will spin a v2 with only changing dp1.
