The following series applies to net-next. The following series changes the low memory paths in virtio_net to not disable NAPI while waiting in the allocator in the slow path. It attempts to rectify some performance problems we've seen where the network performance drops significantly when memory is low. The working theory is that the disabling of NAPI while allocations are occuring in the

This series replaces the existing paravirtualized spinlock mechanism with a paravirtualized ticketlock mechanism. The series provides implementation for both Xen and KVM. The current set of patches are for Xen/x86 spinlock/KVM guest side, to be included against -tip. I 'll be sending a separate patchset for KVM host based on kvm tree. Please note I have added the below performance result

This series replaces the existing paravirtualized spinlock mechanism with a paravirtualized ticketlock mechanism. The series provides implementation for both Xen and KVM. Changes in V10: Addressed Konrad's review comments: - Added break in patch 5 since now we know exact cpu to wakeup - Dropped patch 12 and Konrad needs to revert two patches to enable xen on hvm 70dd4998, f10cd522c -

Hi All: This series tries to add the support for control virtqueue in vDPA. Control virtqueue is used by networking device for accepting various commands from the driver. It's a must to support multiqueue and other configurations. When used by vhost-vDPA bus driver for VM, the control virtqueue should be shadowed via userspace VMM (Qemu) instead of being assigned directly to Guest. This is

Changes in V11: - use safe_halt in lock_spinning path to avoid potential problem in case of irq_handlers taking lock in slowpath (Gleb) - add a0 flag for the kick hypercall for future extension (Gleb) - add stubs for
