This was done by using MSG_MORE as a hint for under layer socket. The backend (e.g tap) can then batch the packets temporarily in a list and submit it all once the number of bacthed exceeds a limitation. Tests shows obvious improvement on guest pktgen over over mlx4(noqueue) on host: Mpps -+% rx_batched=0 0.90 +0% rx_batched=4 0.97 +7.8% rx_batched=8 0.97 +7.8% rx_batched=16 0.98 +8.9% rx_batched=32 1.03 +14.4% rx_batched=48 1.09 +21.1% rx_batched=64 1.02 +13.3% Changes from V1: - drop NAPI handler since we don't use NAPI now - fix the issues that may exceeds max pending of zerocopy - more improvement on available buffer detection - move the limitation of batched pacekts from vhost to tuntap Please review.
