Enabling this flag creates local caches on all the data plane cores. This increases the memory usage for the single writer use case. Then there is 'writers on the control plane' use case, the requirement on hash_add rate is comparatively lower when compared to 'writers on the data plane'. The writers also are not pinned to any core as well. In this use case, I am not sure how much having a local cache matters. Enabling this flag effectively changes the free slot allocation from a ring to a stack data structure. Does it indicate that for single writer use case with TSX, the free slot (global) data structure should be a stack (rather than a ring)? > hw_trans_mem_support = 1; > + } > > if (params->extra_flag & > RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_MULTI_WRITER_ADD) { > use_local_cache = 1; > -- > 1.8.5.6
