similar to: [RFC PATCH v1 0/2] virtio_net: Better low memory handling.

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

Hi all: This series is an update version of multiqueue virtio-net driver based on Krishna Kumar's work to let virtio-net use multiple rx/tx queues to do the packets reception and transmission. Please review and comments. A protype implementation of qemu-kvm support could by found in git://github.com/jasowang/qemu-kvm-mq.git. To start a guest with two queues, you could specify the queues

Hi all: This series is an update version (hope the final version) of multiqueue (VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ) support in virtio-net driver. All previous comments were addressed, the work were based on Krishna Kumar's work to let virtio-net use multiple rx/tx queues to do the packets reception and transmission. Performance test show the aggregate latency were increased greately but may get some regression

As multi-queue nics were commonly used for high-end servers, current single queue based tap can not satisfy the requirement of scaling guest network performance as the numbers of vcpus increase. So the following series implements multiple queue support in tun/tap. In order to take advantages of this, a multi-queue capable driver and qemu were also needed. I just rebase the latest version of

This patch series resurrects the earlier multiple TX/RX queues functionality for virtio_net, and addresses the issues pointed out. It also includes an API to share irq's, f.e. amongst the TX vqs. I plan to run TCP/UDP STREAM and RR tests for local->host and local->remote, and send the results in the next couple of days. patch #1: Introduce VIRTIO_NET_F_MULTIQUEUE patch #2: Move
