[ovs-dev] [PATCH v3 5/5] dpif-netdev: Catch reloads faster.

David Marchand david.marchand at redhat.com
Thu Jul 4 11:59:38 UTC 2019


Looking at the reload flag only every 1024 loops can be a long time
under load, since we might be handling 32 packets per rxq, per iteration,
which means up to poll_cnt * 32 * 1024 packets.
Look at the flag every loop, no major performance impact seen.
