Like commit e2b3b35eb989 ("vhost_net: batch used ring update in rx"), this patches implements batch used ring update for datacopy TX (zerocopy has already done some kind of batching). Testpmd transmission from guest to host (XDP_DROP on tap) shows 25.8% improvement (from ~3.1Mpps to ~3.9Mpps) on Broadwell i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz machine. Netperf TCP tests does not show obvious differences. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
