[PATCH net-next 0/8] vhost-net rx batching

Hi all:

This series tries to implement rx batching for vhost-net. This is done
by batching the dequeuing from skb_array which was exported by
underlayer socket and pass the sbk back through msg_control to finish
userspace copying.

Tests shows at most 19% improvment on rx pps.

Please review.

Thanks

  skb_array: introduce batch dequeuing

  tap: export skb_array
  tun: support receiving skb through msg_control
  tap: support receiving skb from msg_control
  vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array
  vhost_net: use lockless peeking for skb array during busy polling

[PATCH net-next 7/8] vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array

We used to dequeue one skb during recvmsg() from skb_array, this could
be inefficient because of the bad cache utilization and spinlock
touching for each packet. This patch tries to batch them by calling
batch dequeuing helpers explicitly on the exported skb array and pass
the skb back through msg_control for underlayer socket to finish the
userspace copying.

Tests were done by XDP1:
- small buffer:
  Before: 1.88Mpps
  After : 2.25Mpps (+19.6%)
- mergeable buffer:
  Before: 1.83Mpps
  After : 2.10Mpps (+14.7%)

This ignores the comment above that function:

/* Note: callers invoking this in a loop must use a compiler barrier,

 */

Also - it looks like it shouldn't matter if reads are reordered but I
wonder.
Thoughts? Including some reasoning about it in commit log would be nice.
