Subject: [PATCH 1/2] soc: fsl: dpio: Add prefetch instruction
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2018 16:04:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1544803440-32755-1-git-send-email-ruxandra.radulescu@nxp.com> (raw)

In dpaa2_io_store_next(), if the current dequeue entry is not
the last, prefetch the next one as most likely it will be
requested shortly by the consumer driver.

This brings a ~3% improvement for dpaa2 ethernet driver
IP forwarding with small size frames.
