[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/af_xdp: use single-prod-and-cons ring

[Loftus, Ciara]

LGTM.

I ran some rough numbers and measured a +~6.8% improvement for single-core single-pmd testpmd loopback (IRQs pinned to app core) and +~15.9% for two core (IRQs and app pinned to separate cores).

Tested-by: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus at intel.com>

Thanks,
Ciara
