[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/bnxt: disable receive end-of-packet padding

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/bnxt: disable receive end-of-packet padding

[Lance Richardson]

Testing has shown that the packet forwarding rate for packet sizes
that are not a multiple of the cache line size is reduced when the
DMA size is padded to a multiple of the cache line size. Improve
performance for these packet sizes by disabling EOP padding.

Fixes: f4253e97e7b0 ("net/bnxt: set padding flags in Rx descriptor")
