Subject: CI performance test results might be misleading
Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2022 16:06:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <98CBD80474FA8B44BF855DF32C47DC35D87205@smartserver.smartshare.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAJFAV8yqc1antvb5Oszx20Sj1pX16BZsRt+JvymVTANuQ3V+Tw@mail.gmail.com>

I know it's too late for this patch [1], but I am afraid it was performance tested using test-pmd with RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE [2], so the test didn't involve the function fixed by this patch: rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg().

If so, the performance test results were completely irrelevant. The same goes for other patches related to code bypassed by RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE.

RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE is a performance optimization with many application limitations, and should not be enabled for performance testing in the CI environment. Alternatively, performance testing can be performed both with and without this optimization.
