Subject: [dpdk-users] Query on IXGBE vPMD barrier after descriptors load
Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2019 10:21:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AM0PR08MB398605008380413D7E9ACC4D9ED70@AM0PR08MB3986.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Hi Bruce,
When reading IXGBE vPMD code, I have doubt on the barrier used. Hope you can provide more info on this.
In function _recv_raw_pkts_vec, there is a compiler_barrier after load of descs[0]:
https://code.dpdk.org/dpdk/latest/source/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx_vec_sse.c#L469<https://code.dpdk.org/dpdk/latest/source/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx_vec_sse.c>
Could you give some hint about what sequence it is ensuring?
Similar barrier for NEON vPMD on aarch64 platform impacts performance much.
Regards,
/Ruifeng
