Merge branch 'vhost_net-rx-batch-dequeuing'
Jason Wang says: ==================== vhost_net rx batch dequeuing This series tries to implement rx batching for vhost-net. This is done by batching the dequeuing from skb_array which was exported by underlayer socket and pass the sbk back through msg_control to finish userspace copying. This is also the requirement for more batching implemention on rx path. Tests shows at most 7.56% improvment bon rx pps on top of batch zeroing and no obvious changes for TCP_STREAM/TCP_RR result. Please review. Thanks Changes from V4: - drop batch zeroing patch - renew the performance numbers - move skb pointer array out of vhost_net structure Changes from V3: - add batch zeroing patch to fix the build warnings Changes from V2: - rebase to net-next HEAD - use unconsume helpers to put skb back on releasing - introduce and use vhost_net internal buffer helpers - renew performance numbers on top of batch zeroing Changes from V1: - switch to use for() in __ptr_ring_consume_batched() - rename peek_head_len_batched() to fetch_skbs() - use skb_array_consume_batched() instead of skb_array_consume_batched_bh() since no consumer run in bh - drop the lockless peeking patch since skb_array could be resized, so it's not safe to call lockless one ==================== Acked-by: Michael S.
