tun supports zero copy transmit since 0690899b4d4501b3505be069b9a687e68ccbe15b, however you can only enable this mode if you know your workload does not trigger heavy guest to host/host to guest traffic - otherwise you get a (minor) performance regression. This patchset addresses this problem by notifying the owner device when callback is invoked because of a data copy. This makes it possible to

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab at linux-iscsi.org> Hi MST, Greg-KH & Co, The following is -v4 of the in-flight TCM vhost fabric driver for-3.6 code. This series has been rebased into target-pending.git/for-next-merge this evening, and the changelog over the last days from v3 -> v4 has been: *) Rename vhost_vring_target -> vhost_scsi_target (mst + nab) *) Use TRANSPORT_IQN_LEN

Currently, vhost-net is the only consumer of vhost infrastructure. So vhost infrastructure and vhost-net driver are in a single module. Separating this as a vhost.ko module and a vhost-net.ko module makes it is easier to share code with other vhost drivers, e.g. vhost-blk.ko, tcm-vhost.ko.

Hi folks, [I am resending to fix the broken thread in the previous one.] This patchset adds vhost-blk support. vhost-blk is a in kernel virito-blk device accelerator. Compared to userspace virtio-blk implementation, vhost-blk gives about 5% to 15% performance improvement. Asias He (5): aio: Export symbols and struct kiocb_batch for in kernel aio usage eventfd: Export symbol

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab at linux-iscsi.org> Hi folks, The following is the RFC-v3 series of tcm_vhost target fabric driver code currently in-flight for-3.6 mainline code. With the merge window opening soon, the tcm_vhost code has started seeing time in linux-next. The v2 -> v3 changelog from the last week is currently looking like: *) Unlock on error in tcm_vhost_drop_nexus()
