This patch adds an optional polling mode to vhost, that can be enabled via a kernel module parameter, "poll_start_rate". When polling is active for a virtqueue, the guest is asked to disable notification (kicks), and the worker thread continuously checks for new buffers. When it does discover new buffers, it simulates a "kick" by invoking the underlying backend driver (such as vhost-net), which t...
