>From the debugging out what I have seen so far (a single small message
TCP_STEAM test), I think the right approach is to patch both guest and
vhost. The problem I have found is a regression for single small
message TCP_STEAM test. Old kernel works well for TCP_STREAM, only new
kernel has problem.
For Steven's problem, it's multiple stream TCP_RR issues, the old guest
doesn't perform well, so does new guest kernel. We tested reducing vhost
signaling patch before, it didn't help the performance at all.
