The Rx adapter flushes events only if it has BATCH_SIZE events buffered where BATCH_SIZE is set to 32, e.g., if a single packet is sent, it is never passed to eventdev. Fix this issue by adding an event buffer flush either when a Rx queue is found to be empty or the adapter service function has processed the max number of packets for an invocation.Bugzilla ID: 277 Fixes: 6b83f5935543 ("eventdev: add event buffer flush in Rx adapter") Reported-by: Matias Elo <matias....@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Nikhil Rao <nikhil....@intel.com> --- lib/librte_eventdev/rte_event_eth_rx_adapter.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) v2: * added Bugzilla ID diff --git a/lib/librte_eventdev/rte_event_eth_rx_adapter.c b/lib/librte_eventdev/rte_event_eth_rx_adapter.c index 8d178be..fd3761b 100644 --- a/lib/librte_eventdev/rte_event_eth_rx_adapter.c +++ b/lib/librte_eventdev/rte_event_eth_rx_adapter.c @@ -872,7 +872,7 @@ static uint16_t rxa_gcd_u16(uint16_t a, uint16_t b) break; }- if (buf->count >= BATCH_SIZE)+ if (buf->count) rxa_flush_event_buffer(rx_adapter);return nb_rx;
After this change, is there any point in having the event_enqueue_buffer being a part of the rx_adapter struct? It could be stack allocated. In the process, you could eliminate the rte_event copying that goes on and the logic around that. Just make mbufs ETH_EVENT_BUFFER_SIZE in size, and retry until the NIC queue is empty or you accumulated ETH_EVENT_BUFFER_SIZE events. Then you ship it off to the event device.
