On biarch kernels, it is not safe to do copy from/to user, even with use_mm, unless we checked the address range with access_ok previously. Implement these checks to enforce safe memory accesses.

What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce the number of system calls involved in virtio networking. Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification. There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope - uses eventfd for signalling - structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for migration) - support memory

P_STREAM can get more than 4GMb/s for the receive side, and more than 5GMb/= s for the send side. Is it the result from the raw socket or through tap? I want to duplicate such performance with vhost on my side. I can only get = more than 1GMb/s with following conditions: 1) disabled the GRO feature in the host 10G NIC driver 2) vi->big_packet in guest is false 3) MTU is 1500. 4) raw socket, not
