[PATCH net-next V2 2/3] vhost_net: tx batching

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>
Date: 2016-12-28 08:10:23
Also in: kvm, lkml, netdev
Subsystem: the rest, virtio host (vhost) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

This patch tries to utilize tuntap rx batching by peeking the tx
virtqueue during transmission, if there's more available buffers in
the virtqueue, set MSG_MORE flag for a hint for backend (e.g tuntap)
to batch the packets.
