1. A data processing system for processing packets from a receive queue of a remote direct memory access device in the data processing system, the data processing system comprising:
a bus system; a storage device connected to the bus system, wherein the storage device stores computer readable program code; and a processor connected to the bus system, wherein the processor executes the computer readable program code to determine, using a remote direct memory access controller software program located in a user space, whether packets are saved in a pre-fetched queue located within the remote direct memory access controller software program that stores an excess number of packets above a predetermined number of packets called for by an application of the data processing system in a previous packet retrieval cycle, wherein the remote direct memory access controller software program located in the user space monitors and controls remote direct memory access operations associated with the remote direct memory access device; determine, using the remote direct memory access controller software program, a current number of packets within the receive queue of the remote direct memory access device ready to be retrieved in response to determining that packets are not saved in the pre-fetched queue located within the remote direct memory access controller software program that stores the excess number of packets above the predetermined number of packets called for by the application in the previous packet retrieval cycle; determine, using the remote direct memory access controller software program, whether the current number of packets within the receive queue of the remote direct memory access device ready to be retrieved is greater than a predetermined number of packets called for by the application of the data processing system in response to determining the current number of packets within the receive queue of the remote direct memory access device ready to be retrieved; save, using the remote direct memory access controller software program, the excess number of packets above the predetermined number of packets called for by the application in the pre-fetched queue located within the remote direct memory access controller software program for a subsequent packet retrieval cycle an excess number of packets that is above the predetermined number of packets called for by the application in the pre-fetched queue for a subsequent packet retrieval cycle in response to determining that the current number of packets within the receive queue of the remote direct memory access device ready to be retrieved is greater than the predetermined number of packets called for by the application; send, using the remote direct memory access controller software program, an indication to the application of the excess number of packets saved in the pre-fetched queue located within the remote direct memory access controller software program for the subsequent packet retrieval cycle; and transfer, using the remote direct memory access controller software program, the predetermined number of packets called for by the application to the application from the receive queue of the remote direct memory access device. |
