Subject: [PATCH] doc: update async enqueue API usage
Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2022 09:34:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220617093413.94960-1-xuan.ding@intel.com> (raw)
From: Xuan Ding <xuan.ding@intel.com>
This patch updates the correct usage for async enqueue APIs.
The rte_vhost_poll_enqueue_completed() needs to be
called in time to avoid packet loss due to full dma ring.

+Async enqueue API usage
+-----------------------
+
+In async enqueue path, rte_vhost_poll_enqueue_completed() needs to be
+called in time. Otherwise, calling rte_vhost_submit_enqueue_burst()
+all the time will cause the DMA ring to be full, which will result
+in packet loss eventually.
