For small packets we can simplify xmit processing by linearizing buffers with the header: most packets seem to have enough head room we can use for this purpose. Since existing hypervisors require that header is the first s/g element, we need a feature bit for this. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> --- Note: this needs to be applied on top of patch defining VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT - bit to be selected by Rusty. The following patch should work for any definition of VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT - I used bit 31 for testing. Rusty, could you please pick a valid bit for VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT and squeeze this patch into 3.11? drivers/net/virtio_net.c | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- include/uapi/linux/virtio_net.h | 4 +++- 2 files changed, 37 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
