Can we remove i40e bulk alloc option?As the receiving functions are different for bulk_alloc or not, we need this flag.What brings the non bulk alloc function?
Bulk-alloc means it will allocate mbufs in bulk, which was added before we supporting Vector PMD long long ago, to show the possible better performance. I think all was disabled by default, and later it is enabled by default for Linux.
Why is it disabled for BSD?
So now the question is can it be enabled for BSD by default, right? I guess yes, but others may give the accurate answer. Regards, Helin
