Log: sfxge(4): avoid unnecessary mbuf data prefetch Unnecessary prefetch just loads HW prefetcher and displaces other cache entries (which could be really useful). If we parse mbuf for TSO early and use firmware-assisted TSO, we do not expect mbuf data access when we compose firmware-assisted TSO (v1 or v2) option descriptors. If packet header needs to be linearized or finally FATSO cannot be used because of, for example, too big header, we do not care about a bit more performance degradation because of prefetch absence (it is better to optimize more common case).
