It's not a lot, but we've submitted a couple of small patches. It's mostly
a matter of opportunity. We submit patches as we come across DPDK bugs or
find useful optos.
*Patches*
- replaced O(n^2) sort in sort_by_physaddr() with qsort() from standard
library <http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/1955/>
- Fixed spam from kni_allocate_mbufs() when no mbufs are free. If mbufs
exhausted, 'out of memory' message logged at EXTREMELY high rates. Now logs
no more than once per 10 mins <http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/2062/>
*Reviews*
- kni: optimizing the rte_kni_rx_burst
<http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/84/>
- [PATCH RFC] librte_reorder: new reorder library
<http://www.dpdk.io/ml/archives/dev/2014-October/006767.html>
- [PATCH v2 09/17] i40e: clean log messages
<http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-September/005133.html> (several in
that series, but I figure 1 link is plenty)
*Other*
Not really patches or reviews, but trying to participate in the community:
- VMware Fusion + DPDK and KNI
<http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-August/004737.html>
- Appropriate DPDK data structures for TCP sockets
<http://patchwork.dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-February/013941.html>
- kernel: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s! [kni_single:1782]
<http://patchwork.dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-February/013335.html>
- segmented recv ixgbevf
<http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-November/007621.html>
