Hi Matej,

Yes by default [rt]x_queues are allocated via rte_zmalloc, which uses SOCKET_ID_ANY.

And in burst functions, we do:
 nb_rx = (*dev->rx_pkt_burst)(dev->data->rx_queues[queue_id], rx_pkts, nb_pkts);

So there is an access to rx_queues in each rte_eth_rx_burst() call.

I wonder if you observe any performance difference with this update?
And what about moving to the ethdev layer instead of keeping local to the PMD?
