The real requirement is from VPP CLI practice in production:
http://www.jimmdenton.com/vpp-1810-mellanox/
tx burst function: xxx
rx burst function: xxx
Their implementation requires *non static* rx/tx burst.
Yes, MLX uses an template compile for extreme performance.
----
* @param olx
* Configured offloads mask, presents the bits of MLX5_TXOFF_CONFIG_xxx
* values. Should be static to take compile time static configuration
* advantages.
*
* @return
* Number of packets successfully transmitted (<= pkts_n).
*/
static __rte_always_inline uint16_t
mlx5_tx_burst_tmpl(struct mlx5_txq_data *restrict txq,
struct rte_mbuf **restrict pkts,
uint16_t pkts_n,
unsigned int olx)
----
What we design is from another kind of thinking from CPU's point view:
commit 2e542da709371ee51d61d74c9a1b357ad34ae13e
Author: David Christensen <drc@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

net/mlx5: add Altivec Rx
Added mlx5_rxtx_vec_altivec.h which supports vectorized RX
using Altivec vector code. Modified associated build files
to use the new code.
