Subject: [PATCH] vhost: poll vhost_net only when tx notification is enabled
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 17:20:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <530DB1C9.2060106@huawei.com> (raw)

guest kick host base on avail_ring flags value and get perfermance
improved, vhost_zerocopy_callback could do the same thing. As
virtqueue_enable_cb need one more check after modifying the value of
avail_ring flags, vhost also need do the same thing after
vhost_enable_notify.

test result list as below:
guest and host: suse11sp3, netperf, intel CPU 2.4GHz
