Description

Hi,

I ran a test receiving a single redundant UHD stream, however, I was unable to receive it without performance drops. Seeing plenty of hw_dropped_packets:

System Specs:

  • AMD EPYC 9354P 32-Core Processor (w/ Hyperthreading)
  • 6x 16GB DDR5 RAM
  • 2x E810 XXV 25G
  • Ubuntu 22.04, Kernel 5.15.0.179
  • Kernel Parameters: "isolcpus=61-63 irq_affinity=0-60 rcu_nocbs=61-63 iommu=pt amd_iommu=on"

Anything else we can check to see why we don't see good performance here?

Thanks

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the single redundant UHD stream on the listed hardware and kernel while observing hw_dropped_packets and lock contention. Done means identifying the performance bottleneck and documenting or implementing a verified change that prevents the reported performance drops.
