Friday, October 4, 2019 11:10 PM, Flavio Leitner: > Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] vhost: add support for large buffers. > > The rte_vhost_dequeue_burst supports two ways of dequeuing data. > If the data fits into a buffer, then all data is copied and a single linear > buffer is > returned. Otherwise it allocates additional mbufs and chains them together > to return a multiple segments mbuf. > > While that covers most use cases, it forces applications that need to work > with larger data sizes to support multiple segments mbufs. The non-linear > characteristic brings complexity and performance implications to the > application. > > To resolve the issue, let the host provide during registration if attaching an > external buffer to pktmbuf is supported and if only linear buffer are > supported. > > Signed-off-by: Flavio Leitner <f...@sysclose.org>
