But in fact, the final value is\nrelated to the specifications of HW, and its values will affect the number\nof fragments in receiving packets when scatter is enabled. By the way,\nsome PMDs may force to enable scatter when the MTU is bigger than the HW\nRx buffer size.\n\nAt present, we have no way to expose relevant information to upper layer\nusers. So, add a field named rx_buf_size in rte_eth_rxq_info to indicate\nthe buffer size used in receiving packets for HW. And this field is\noptional, so there is no need to forcibly update all PMDs.\n\nThis patchset also update testpmd, proc-info tools and add hns3 PMD\nimplementation.\n\nv5:\n - squash oneline app patches and deprecation remove with ethdev patch\n\nChengchang Tang (2):\n ethdev: add a field for rxq info structure\n net/hns3: add Rx buffer size to Rx qinfo query\n\n app/proc-info/main.c | 13 +++++++++----\n app/test-pmd/config.c | 2 ++\n doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst | 5 -----\n drivers/net/hns3/hns3_rxtx.c | 2 ++\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.h | 1 +\n 5 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)\n\n--\n2.7.4" }
