It may increase performance in some cases on systems having 64-byte cache line, i.e. mbuf split in two cache lines. Due to this change, all fields after "pool" are moved up. Hopefully no vector data path is impacted. Moving this field gives more space to dynfield1 while dropping the temporary dynfield0. This is how the mbuf layout looks like (pahole-style): word type name byte size 0 void * buf_addr; /* 0 + 8 */ 1 rte_iova_t buf_iova /* 8 + 8 */ /* --- RTE_MARKER64 rearm_data; */ 2 uint16_t data_off; /* 16 + 2 */ uint16_t refcnt; /* 18 + 2 */ uint16_t nb_segs; /* 20 + 2 */ uint16_t port; /* 22 + 2 */ 3 uint64_t ol_flags; /* 24 + 8 */ /* --- RTE_MARKER rx_descriptor_fields1; */ 4 uint32_t union packet_type; /* 32 + 4 */ uint32_t pkt_len; /* 36 + 4 */ 5 uint16_t data_len; /* 40 + 2 */ uint16_t vlan_tci; /* 42 + 2 */ 5.5 uint64_t union hash; /* 44 + 8 */ 6.5 uint16_t vlan_tci_outer; /* 52 + 2 */ uint16_t buf_len; /* 54 + 2 */ 7 struct rte_mempool * pool; /* 56 + 8 */ /* --- RTE_MARKER cacheline1; */ 8 struct rte_mbuf * next; /* 64 + 8 */ 9 uint64_t union tx_offload; /* 72 + 8 */ 10 struct rte_mbuf_ext_shared_info * shinfo; /* 80 + 8 */ 11 uint16_t priv_size; /* 88 + 2 */ uint16_t timesync; /* 90 + 2 */ 11.5 uint32_t dynfield1[9]; /* 92 + 36 */ 16 /* --- END 128 */ Signed-off-by: Thomas Monjalon Acked-by: Morten Brørup Acked-by: Olivier Matz Acked-by: Jerin Jacob Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger --- diff --git a/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst b/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst index f3258eb3f7..efb09f0c5e 100644 --- a/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst +++ b/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst @@ -81,13 +81,6 @@ Deprecation Notices us extending existing enum/define.
