Hi,
I tested this patch on LS2088 (A72) platform. I have tried both dpaa2
and armv8a config for builds.
In both cases, I am seeing a drop of 3-8% in different scenario using 1
core case with small packets.
- 1 flow case - 7-8 % drop in performance
- 8 K flow case - 2-5 % drop in performance
Regards,
Hemant
