This patch tries to poll for new added tx buffer or socket receive
queue for a while at the end of tx/rx processing. The maximum time
spent on polling were specified through a new kind of vring ioctl.

One further enhancement would be to actually poll
the underlying device. This should be reasonably
straight-forward with macvtap (especially in the
passthrough mode).

Yes, it is. I have some patches to do this by replacing
skb_queue_empty() with sk_busy_loop() but for tap.

We probably don't want to do this unconditionally, though.

Tests does not show
any improvement but some regression.

Did you add code to call sk_mark_napi_id on tap then?
sk_busy_loop won't do anything useful without.

 Maybe it's better to test macvtap.

Same thing ...
