iflib support

Open kev009 opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Have a look at the iflib man pages on -CURRENT: iflibdd(9), iflibtxrx(9)

The driver should be using this for queue management and txrx. I don't see anything in the NIC design that is mutually exclusive to this.

iflib is a new feature and we currently checking the implications of adding this support

@gtzalik thanks for checking. We will be MFCing everything to 11-STABLE and 10-STABLE in cooperation with Intel. @mattmacy has been working on small packet and forwarding performance in https://github.com/mattmacy/networking/commits/HEAD_MERGE/iflib-ixgbe-current, any concerns you have for ENA can be brought to his attention.

Support for iflib would be greatly appreciated as this would also permit to use NetMap on ENA driver in the future.
