Above will be the definition when https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/729970/ is pushed. In the software that you are using, “polling” is the time spent polling when there are no packets and also polling/receiving/batching packets. Using this definition, polling percentage will not go below “some value”, since even if all polling cycles receive packets that time spent polling/receiving/batching is counted as “polling”. input more packets -> higher “processing” percentage. pmd thread numa_id 1 core_id 27: emc hits:141332792126 megaflow hits:263 avg. subtable lookups per hit:1.00 miss:59 lost:0 polling cycles:19832152639760 (12.60%) processing cycles:137517517407771 (87.40%) avg cycles per packet: 1113.33 (157349670047531/141332792711) avg processing cycles per packet: 973.01 (137517517407771/141332792711) Thanks a lot.
