Subject: Intel FAST_FREE offload question
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:58:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <98CBD80474FA8B44BF855DF32C47DC35E9FA63@smartserver.smartshare.dk> (raw)

Intel NIC folks,

Why do the Intel network drivers, when using RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE, fall back to normal freeing when the mempool cache is empty (cache->len == 0)? It doesn't make sense to me.

Example:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/tree/drivers/net/intel/common/tx.h#n146

Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards,
-Morten Brørup
