Subject: [PATCH V2 1/2] vhost_net: stop polling socket during rx processing
Date: Mon, 30 May 2016 02:47:53 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464590874-39539-2-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1464590874-39539-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com>

We don't stop rx polling socket during rx processing, this will lead
unnecessary wakeups from under layer net devices (E.g
sock_def_readable() form tun). Rx will be slowed down in this
way. This patch avoids this by stop polling socket during rx
processing. A small drawback is that this introduces some overheads in
light load case because of the extra start/stop polling, but single
netperf TCP_RR does not notice any change. In a super heavy load case,
e.g using pktgen to inject packet to guest, we get about ~8.8%
improvement on pps:

before: ~1240000 pkt/s
after:  ~1350000 pkt/s
