Some virtio-net with virtio-mmio performance data on ARM added as followed: Type of backend bandwith(GBytes/sec) virtio-net 0.66 vhost-net 1.49 vhost-net with irqfd 2.01 Test cmd: ./iperf -c 192.168.0.2 -P 1 -i 10 -p 5001 -f G -t 60 >From this test data, irqfd has great improvement (about 30%) on performance. So maybe it's necessary to enable multiple irq support to make vhost-net with virtio-mmio on ARM be able to use irqfd. How do you guys think? Look forward for your feedback.
