[ovs-dev] [PATCH v6 0/3] DPDK batch packet processing

[Daniele Di Proietto]

Changes from v5:

Pravin's suggestions:
    reintroduced dpif_packet_delete()
    removed extra spaces
    dp_netdev_input keeps only one miniflow now
    netdev_send takes a dpif_packet now
fixed a bug when skipping packets in dpdk_do_tx_copy()

Changes from v4:

rebased
simplified error handling in netdev_linux_send()
moved dpif_packet functions into a separate .c file
cosmetic changes

Changes from v3:

struct dpif_packet has its own header
removed many dpif_packet functions (using ofpbuf directly instead)
avoided copying in dpif_execute()

Changes from v2:

introduce struct dpif_packet for storing non-shared packet metadata


Daniele Di Proietto (3):
  dpif-netdev: use dpif_packet structure for packets
  netdev: netdev_send accepts multiple packets
  dpif-netdev: batch packet processing
