[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] net/virtio: make virtqueue struct cache-friendly

[Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin@redhat.com>]

This series optimizes the cache usage of virtqueue struct,
by make a "fake" mbuf being dynamically allocated in Rx
virtnet struct, by removing a useless virtuque pointer
into the virtnet structs and by moving a few fields
to pack holes.

With these 3 patches, the virtqueue struct size goes from
576 bytes (9 cachelines) to 248 bytes (4 cachelines).

Maxime Coquelin (3):
  net/virtio: remove reference to virtqueue in vrings
  net/virtio: allocate fake mbuf in Rx queue
  net/virtio: pack virtuqueue struct
