similar to: [PATCH V3 0/3] basic busy polling support for vhost_net

Under heavy load vhost busypoll may run without suppressing notification. For example tx zerocopy callback can push tx work while handle_tx() is running, then busyloop exits due to vhost_has_work() condition and enables notification but immediately reenters handle_tx() because the pushed work was tx. In this case handle_tx() tries to disable notification again, but when using event_idx it by

Under heavy load vhost tx busypoll tend not to suppress vq kicks, which causes poor guest tx performance. The detailed scenario is described in commitlog of patch 2. Rx seems not to have that serious problem, but for consistency I made a similar change on rx to avoid rx wakeups (patch 3). Additionary patch 4 is to avoid rx kicks under heavy load during busypoll. Tx performance is greatly improved

Hi all: This series tries to add basic busy polling for vhost net. The idea is simple: at the end of tx/rx processing, busy polling for new tx added descriptor and rx receive socket for a while. The maximum number of time (in us) could be spent on busy polling was specified ioctl. Test A were done through: - 50 us as busy loop timeout - Netperf 2.6 - Two machines with back to back connected

From: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue at gmail.com> This patches improve the guest receive performance. On the handle_tx side, we poll the sock receive queue at the same time. handle_rx do that in the same way. For more performance report, see patch 4. v6->v7: fix issue and rebase codes: 1. on tx, busypoll will vhost_net_disable/enable_vq rx vq. [This is suggested by Toshiaki Makita
