This series tries to unify and simplify vhost codes especially for zerocopy. With this series, 5% - 10% improvement for per cpu throughput were seen during netperf guest sending test.
Plase review. Changes from V2: - Typo fixes and code style fix - Add performance gain in the commit log of patch 2/6 - Retest the update the result in patch 6/6 Changes from V1: - Fix the zerocopy enabling check by changing the check of upend_idx != done_idx to (upend_idx + 1) % UIO_MAXIOV == done_idx. - Switch to use put_user() in __vhost_add_used_n() if there's only one used - Keep the max pending check based on Michael's suggestion. Jason Wang (6): vhost_net: make vhost_zerocopy_signal_used() return void vhost_net: use vhost_add_used_and_signal_n() in vhost_zerocopy_signal_used() vhost: switch to use vhost_add_used_n() vhost_net: determine whether or not to use zerocopy at one time vhost_net: poll vhost queue after marking DMA is done vhost_net: correctly limit the max pending buffers drivers/vhost/net.c | 92 ++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------- drivers/vhost/vhost.c | 54 ++++++---------------------- 2 files changed, 54 insertions(+), 92 deletions(-) _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
