Subject: net/qede: free packets in bulk
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4996b959cde6a340bc24b121d279082b6e8761fb;p=dpdk.git

net/qede: free packets in bulk

rte_pktmbuf_free_bulk calls rte_mempool_put_bulk with the number of
pending packets to return to the mempool. In contrast, rte_pktmbuf_free
calls rte_mempool_put that calls rte_mempool_put_bulk with one object.
An important performance related downside of adding one packet at a time
to the mempool is that on each call, the per-core cache pointer needs to
be read from tls while a single rte_mempool_put_bulk only reads from the
tls once.
