Hi,
Will take it into the split patchset - we just hit this bug when tried
to run benchmarks with blueflame disabled (easy to test by using ethtool
priv flag blueflame).
I'm still working on it, but I can't reproduce the numbers that you
show. On my development machine, I get ~5.5Mpps with burst=8 and ~2Mpps
with burst=1.
In addition, I see no improvements when adding the optimization to the
xmit path.
I use the net-next kernel + pktgen burst support patch, with and without
this xmit path optimization patch.
Do you use other patches not upstream in your environment?
Can you share the .config/pktgen configuration?
One other note: we're checking now that blueflame could be used with
xmit_more. It might result with packets reordering/drops. Still under
investigation.
Thanks,
Amir
