In tun, NAPI is supported and we can also use NAPI in the path of batched XDP buffs to accelerate packet processing. What is more, after we use NAPI, GRO is also supported. The iperf shows that the throughput of single stream could be improved from 4.5Gbps to 9.2Gbps. Additionally, 9.2 Gbps nearly reachs the line speed of the phy nic and there is still about 15% idle cpu core remaining on the vhost thread.

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.
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.
