Hi Billy, Yes, I want to achieve better performance.
The commit "dpif-netdev: Assign ports to pmds on non-local numa node" can NOT meet my needs. I do have pmd on socket 0 to poll the physical NIC which is also on socket 0. However, this is not enough since I also have other pmd on socket 1. I hope such pmds on socket 1 can together poll physical NIC. In this way, we have more CPU (in my case, double CPU) to poll the NIC, which results in performance improvement.

However it is not clear to me why you are pinning rxqs to PMDs in the first instance. Currently if you configure at least on pmd on each numa there should always be a PMD available. Is the pinning for performance reasons?
