-virtio_update_packet_stats(struct virtnet_stats *stats, struct
rte_mbuf *mbuf)
+virtio_update_packet_stats(struct virtnet_stats *const stats,
+ const struct rte_mbuf *const mbuf)
The two const is also for performace? Is there gain?
The "const struct rte_mbuf * mbuf" informs the optimizer that the function does
not modify the mbuf. This is for the benefit of callers of the function; they can rely
on the mbuf being unchanged when the function returns.
So, if the optimizer has cached some mbuf field before calling the function, it
does not need to read the mbuf field again, but can continue using the cached
value after the function call.
The two "type *const ptr" probably make no performance difference with the
compilers and function call conventions used by the CPU architectures supported by DPDK.
ok
+ RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(struct virtnet_stats, broadcast) !=
+ offsetof(struct virtnet_stats, multicast) +
sizeof(uint64_t));
+ if (unlikely(rte_is_multicast_ether_addr(ea)))
+ (&stats->multicast)[rte_is_broadcast_ether_addr(ea)]++;
The "rte_is_broadcast_ether_addr(ea) " will be calculated twice if
packet is mulitcast.
How about coding like:
-->
is_mulitcast = rte_is_multicast_ether_addr(ea);
if (unlikely(is_mulitcast))
(&stats->multicast)[rte_is_broadcast_ether_addr(ea)]++;
I don't think "rte_is_broadcast_ether_addr(ea)" is calculated twice for
multicast packets.
My code essentially does this:
if (mc(ea))
stats[bc(ea)]++;
Changing to this shouldn't make a difference:
m = mc(ea);
if (m)
stats[bc(ea)]++;
Yeah，you are right.
