similar to: [PATCH] vhost: cleanup iterator update logic

Recent iterator-related changes in vhost made it harder to follow the logic fixing up the header. In fact, the fixup always happens at the same offset: sizeof(virtio_net_hdr): sometimes the fixup iterator is updated by copy_to_iter, sometimes-by iov_iter_advance. Rearrange code to make this obvious. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst at redhat.com> --- drivers/vhost/net.c | 22

Hi Jason, I love your patch!

vhost logging uses of vq_err has a few defects and style inconsistencies. o pr_debug already uses pr_fmt so its use in vq_err is defective however no #defines of pr_fmt exist in this code so no actual defects exist o vq_err uses need terminating newlines so add the missing ones o Coalesce formats and realign arguments Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe at perches.com> ---

In commit ba7438aed924 ("vhost: don't bother copying iovecs in handle_rx(), kill memcpy_toiovecend()"), we advance iov iter fixup sizeof(struct virtio_net_hdr) bytes and fill the number of buffers after doing the socket recvmsg(). This work well but was broken after commit 6e03f896b52c ("Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net") which tries to advance

The 2 that we use for copy_to_iter comes from sizeof(u16), it used to be that way before the iov iter update. Fix it up, making it obvious the size of stack access is right. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

We don't stop rx polling socket during rx processing, this will lead unnecessary wakeups from under layer net devices (E.g sock_def_readable() form tun). Rx will be slowed down in this way. This patch avoids this by stop polling socket during rx processing. A small drawback is that this introduces some overheads in light load case because of the extra start/stop polling, but single netperf
