Before 19.08 release the Tx burst routines of mlx5 PMD
provided data inline for the first short segments of the
multi-segment packets. In the release 19.08 mlx5 Tx datapath
was refactored and this behavior was broken, affecting the
performance.
For example, the T-Rex traffic generator might use small
leading segments to handle packet headers and performance
degradation was noticed.
If the first segments of the multi-segment packet are short
and the overall length is below the inline threshold it
should be inline into the WQE to fix the performance.
