similar to: [PATCH RFC] vhost: max s/g to match qemu

Qemu supports up to UIO_MAXIOV s/g so we have to match that because guest drivers may rely on this. Allocate indirect and log arrays dynamically to avoid using too much contigious memory and make the length of hdr array to match the header length since each iovec entry has a least one byte. Test with copying large files w/ and w/o migration in both linux and windows guests. Signed-off-by: Jason

This adds experimental zero copy support in vhost-net, disabled by default. To enable, set the zerocopytx module option to 1. This patch maintains the outstanding userspace buffers in the sequence it is delivered to vhost. The outstanding userspace buffers will be marked as done once the lower device buffers DMA has finished. This is monitored through last reference of kfree_skb callback. Two

From: Dong Dong Chen <ddongch at cn.ibm.com> Under memory pressure we observe load issues with module vhost_net, as the vhost setup code will try to do an order 4 allocation for the device. The likeliness of this issue to occur can be reduced when the statically allocated variable "iov" in "struct vhost_virtqueue" is dynamically allocated with exactly the required size,

The idea is to support multiple ring formats by converting to a format-independent array of descriptors. This costs extra cycles, but we gain in ability to fetch a batch of descriptors in one go, which is good for code cache locality. When used, this causes a minor performance degradation, it's been kept as simple as possible for ease of review. A follow-up patch gets us back the performance

The idea is to support multiple ring formats by converting to a format-independent array of descriptors. This costs extra cycles, but we gain in ability to fetch a batch of descriptors in one go, which is good for code cache locality. To simplify benchmarking, I kept the old code around so one can switch back and forth by writing into a module parameter. This will go away in the final

This patch implements basic batched processing of tx virtqueue by prefetching desc indices and updating used ring in a batch. For non-zerocopy case, vq->heads were used for storing the prefetched indices and updating used ring. It is also a requirement for doing more batching on top. For zerocopy case and for simplicity, batched processing were simply disabled by only fetching and processing
