Subject: [PATCH net-next] vhost_net: conditionally enable tx polling
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2017 18:27:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1509445640-4085-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
We always poll tx for socket, this is sub optimal since:
- we only want to be notified when sndbuf is available
- this will slightly increase the waitqueue traversing time and more
important, vhost could not benefit from commit
commit 9e641bdcfa4e
("net-tun: restructure tun_do_read for better sleep/wakeup efficiency")
even if we've stopped rx polling during handle_rx() since tx poll
were still left in the waitqueue.
Pktgen from a remote host to VM over mlx4 shows 5.5% improvements on
rx PPS. (from 1.27Mpps to 1.34Mpps)
