We should use packets instead of buffers, in indirect case, one packet has multiple buffers, each packet uses one descriptor from the ring (default size is 256). echo 128 > /sys/module/vhost_net/parameters/tx_packets_coalesce The way I am changing is only when netif queue has stopped, then we start to count num_free descriptors to send the signal to wake netif queue.
