> Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: prefetch CQEs for a faster decompression
>
> Invalidation of consumed CQEs incurs a performance penalty
> due to many cache misses caused by a non-sequential CQEs access.
> Prefetch CQEs to get a better data locality and speed up the
> decompression of CQEs. Prefetching reduces CPI rate of the
> rxq_cq_decompress_v() function from 1 to 0.85 in my environment,
> resulting in 2% boost in mpps for 64B frames single core test.
