DPDK项目中数组&rte_ring&mempool结合使用

/** * * Retrieve a burst of input packets from a receive queue of an Ethernet * device. The retrieved packets are stored in *rte_mbuf* structures whose * pointers are supplied in the *rx_pkts* array. * * The rte_eth_rx_burst() function loops, parsing the RX ring of the * receive queue, up to *nb_pkts* packets, and for each completed RX * descriptor in the ring, it performs the following operations: * * - Initialize the *rte_mbuf* data structure associated with the * RX descriptor according to the information provided by the NIC into * that RX descriptor. * * - Store the *rte_mbuf* data structure into the next entry of the * *rx_pkts* array. * * - Replenish the RX descriptor with a new *rte_mbuf* buffer * allocated from the memory pool associated with the receive queue at * initialization time. * * When retrieving an input packet that was scattered by the controller * into multiple receive descriptors, the rte_eth_rx_burst() function * appends the associated *rte_mbuf* buffers to the first buffer of the * packet. * * The rte_eth_rx_burst() function returns the number of packets * actually retrieved, which is the number of *rte_mbuf* data structures * effectively supplied into the *rx_pkts* array. * A return value equal to *nb_pkts* indicates that the RX queue contained * at least *rx_pkts* packets, and this is likely to signify that other * received packets remain in the input queue. Applications implementing * a "retrieve as much received packets as possible" policy can check this * specific case and keep invoking the rte_eth_rx_burst() function until * a value less than *nb_pkts* is returned. * * This receive method has the following advantages: * * - It allows a run-to-completion network stack engine to retrieve and * to immediately process received packets in a fast burst-oriented * approach, avoiding the overhead of unnecessary intermediate packet * queue/dequeue operations. * * - 此api作用
