I get this error when running DPDK with the IGB driver in pktgen-dpdk and other code:
PMD: WARNING: eth_igb_tx_queue_setup(): To improve 1G driver performance, consider setting the TX WTHRESH value to 4, 8, or 16. Internally, the code is checking "if (tx_conf->tx_thresh.wthresh == 0)". But, I am confused now because a while ago I thought we made a bunch of DPDK usability changes to get rid of this headache. I remember reading / learning that if you set zero for most rx_conf and tx_conf parameters, the PMD is supposed to auto-select sane default values. Given that, why are you forced to set TX_WTHRESH by hand for igb? What sane default value one should pick for this setting? Could we do something better to auto-select this like we did for most rx_conf / tx_conf settings previously? Or did I miss something about the usability changes or do something wrong? Sincerely, Matthew Hall.
