In blkback driver, after I/O requests are submitted to Dom-0 block I/O subsystem, blkback goes to ''sleep'' effectively without letting blkfront know about it (req_event isn''t set appropriately). Hence blkfront doesn''t notify blkback when it submits a new I/O thus delaying the ''dispatch'' of the new I/O to Dom-0 block I/O subsystem. The new I/O is dispatched as soon as one of the previous I/Os completes. As a result of this is...

Hi all I''m hacking on a netback trying to identify whether TLB flushes causes heavy performance penalty on Tx path. The hack is quite nasty (you would not want to know, trust me). Basically what is doesn''t is, 1) alter network protocol to pass along mfns instead of grant references, 2) when the backend sees a new mfn, map it RO and cache it in its own address space. With this

OK, here's a large patchset that implements the virtio spec update that I sent earlier. It supercedes the PUBLISH_USED_IDX patches I sent out earlier. I know it's a lot to ask but please test, and please consider for 2.6.40 :) I see nice performance improvements: one run showed going from 12 to 18 Gbit/s host to guest with netperf, but I did not spend a lot of time testing performance,

This is really trying to cleanup some virt code, as suggested by Peter, who said > You could of course go fix that instead of mutilating things into > sort-of functional state. This work is needed for virtio, so it's probably easiest to merge it through my tree - is this fine by everyone? Arnd, if you agree, could you ack this please? Note to arch maintainers: please don't
