Hi, Ruifeng
Could we go further and implement loop inside the conditional?
Like this:
if (mlx5_mr_btree_len(&rxq->mr_ctrl.cache_bh) > 1) {
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
void *buf_addr = elts[i]->buf_addr;
wq[i].addr = rte_cpu_to_be_64((uintptr_t)buf_addr +
RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM);
wq[i].lkey = mlx5_rx_mb2mr(rxq, elts[i]);
}
} else {
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
void *buf_addr = elts[i]->buf_addr;
wq[i].addr = rte_cpu_to_be_64((uintptr_t)buf_addr +
RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM);
}
}
What do you think?
Also, we should check the performance on other archs is not affected.
With best regards,
Slava
