From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jason Wang Subject: [PATCH net V2] vhost_net: correctly check tx avail during rx busy polling Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 09:22:05 +0800 Message-ID: <1504574525-4711-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> Cc: kvm@vger.kernel.org, virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To: mst@redhat.com, jasowang@redhat.com, netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org We check tx avail through vhost_enable_notify() in the past which is wrong since it only checks whether or not guest has filled more available buffer since last avail idx synchronization which was just done by vhost_vq_avail_empty() before. What we really want is checking pending buffers in the avail ring. Fix this by calling vhost_vq_avail_empty() instead. This issue could be noticed by doing netperf TCP_RR benchmark as client from guest (but not host). With this fix, TCP_RR from guest to localhost restores from 1375.91 trans per sec to 55235.28 trans per sec on my laptop (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz).
