Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] xen-netback: switch to NAPI + kthread 1:1 model
Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 11:32:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369391553-16835-1-git-send-email-wei.liu2@citrix.com> (raw)
This series implements NAPI + kthread 1:1 model for Xen netback.
This model
- provides better scheduling fairness among vifs
- is prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen network driver
The first two patches are ground work for the third patch. They aim to reduce
memory footprint of netback.
The third patch has the real meat:
- make use of NAPI to mitigate interrupt
- kthreads are not bound to CPUs any more, so that we can take advantage of
backend scheduler and trust it to do the right thing

xen-netback: page pool support
xen-netback: switch to per-cpu scratch space
