Subject: [PATCH net-next RFC 2/2] vhost_net: basic polling support
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 01:27:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1445491649-62614-2-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1445491649-62614-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com>
This patch tries to poll for new added tx buffer for a while at the
end of tx processing. The maximum time spent on polling were limited
through a module parameter. To avoid block rx, the loop will end it
there's new other works queued on vhost so in fact socket receive
queue is also be polled.
busyloop_timeout = 50 gives us following improvement on TCP_RR test:
size/session/+thu%/+normalize%
1/ 1/ +5%/ -20%
1/ 50/ +17%/ +3%
