[PATCH net-next 0/8] vhost-net rx batching

[Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>]

Hi all:

This series tries to implement rx batching for vhost-net. This is done
by batching the dequeuing from skb_array which was exported by
underlayer socket and pass the sbk back through msg_control to finish
userspace copying.

Tests shows at most 19% improvment on rx pps.

Please review.

Thanks
