Hi Wiles,
Thanks a lot for your reply, I'm not sure what you said "tx flush
threshold" exactly is. Is it in parameter of rte_eth_tx_queue_setup function to
init tx queue? If so, it's configured as
static struct rte_eth_txconf tx_conf =
{
.tx_thresh = {
.pthresh = TX_PTHRESH, // 36
.hthresh = TX_HTHRESH, // 0
.wthresh = TX_WTHRESH, // 0
},
.tx_free_thresh = MAX_PKT_BURST, // Use PMD default values, supposed to be 32
.tx_rs_thresh = MAX_PKT_BURST, // Use PMD default values
.txq_flags = (uint32_t)ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NOOFFLOADS,
};
And the transmit ring size is 4096.
As for network traffic, I use the http benchmark tool called wrk to perform
stress testing for nginx, which running on my user-space TCP/IP stacks. I think
the traffic is absolutely enough, and the issue occurs during the stress
testing.
Thanks again for your reply.
Best wishes

Can you make sure the tx flush threshold?
Some of the rx/tx rings were increased and if you do not have enough transmit
traffic it can seem like it never does a cleanup. This is just guess try to
make sure you have enough tx buffers allocated and rx as well.
Hope that helps
