[PATCH net-next V4 1/6] ptr_ring: support zero length ring

[Jason Wang]

Sometimes, we need zero length ring. But current code will crash since
we don't do any check before accessing the ring. This patch fixes this.

[PATCH net-next V4 3/6] ptr_ring: support resizing multiple queues

[Jason Wang]

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>

Sometimes, we need support resizing multiple queues at once. This is
because it was not easy to recover to recover from a partial failure
of multiple queues resizing.

[Jason Wang]

This patch introduces a new event - NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN, this
will be triggered when tx_queue_len. It could be used by net device
who want to do some processing at that time. An example is tun who may
want to resize tx array when tx_queue_len is changed.

[PATCH net-next V4 6/6] tun: switch to use skb array for tx

[Jason Wang]

We used to queue tx packets in sk_receive_queue, this is less
efficient since it requires spinlocks to synchronize between producer
and consumer.

This patch tries to address this by:

- switch from sk_receive_queue to a skb_array, and resize it when
  tx_queue_len was changed.
- introduce a new proto_ops peek_len which was used for peeking the
  skb length.
- implement a tun version of peek_len for vhost_net to use and convert
  vhost_net to use peek_len if possible.

Pktgen test shows about 15.3% improvement on guest receiving pps for small
buffers:

Before: ~1300000pps
After : ~1500000pps
