Looks like it is just improvement. No need the above "fixes" lines (also fix title is not needed as you did). I think that performance improvement results should be added to the commit log. Moreover, Did you investigate which fields in rte_eth_dev_data structures are important for performance and should not be in a different cache lines? Maybe alternative order of the fields in the structure may improve the performance more... > Cc: Matan Azrad <ma...@mellanox.com> > Cc: Thomas Monjalon <tho...@monjalon.net> > Cc: Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.anan...@intel.com> > > Signed-off-by: Jerin Jacob <jerin.ja...@caviumnetworks.com> > Signed-off-by: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavat...@caviumnetworks.com> > --- > v2: > - Change the git comments based on Matan's feedback > https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdp > dk.org%2Fdev%2Fpatchwork%2Fpatch%2F35104%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cmat > an%40mellanox.com%7C5c2537b12e6d4e51f12a08d571dd33a2%7Ca652971c7 > d2e4d9ba6a4d149256f461b%7C0%7C0%7C636540117238324576&sdata=8OOg > Zb0KzDbBce9xPVywV8ynmiKP9B%2BbYsQxgE5VlX0%3D&reserved=0 > > - Some platform like thunderx + l3fwd showed 1% regression in the > performance with 5b7ba31148a8 ("ethdev: add port ownership") in one port > setup. > > - If there are no objection for this change then request to take it for v18.02 > release. > --- > lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev_core.h | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev_core.h > b/lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev_core.h > index 315b31723..e5681e466 100644 > --- a/lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev_core.h > +++ b/lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev_core.h > @@ -601,7 +601,7 @@ struct rte_eth_dev_data { > struct rte_vlan_filter_conf vlan_filter_conf; > /**< VLAN filter configuration. */ > struct rte_eth_dev_owner owner; /**< The port owner. */ -}; > +} __rte_cache_aligned; > > /** > * @internal > -- > 2.16.1
