Currently, even if the packet length is smaller than VHOST_GOODCOPY_LEN, if
upend_idx != done_idx we still set zcopy_used to true and rollback this choice
later. This could be avoided by determine zerocopy once by checking all
conditions at one time before.

Could you leave && on a first of two lines, matching the previous style?


/* use msg_control to pass vhost zerocopy ubuf info to skb */
if (zcopy_used) {
+ struct ubuf_info *ubuf;
+ ubuf = nvq->ubuf_info + nvq->upend_idx;
+
vq->heads[nvq->upend_idx].id = head;
[...]
+ vq->heads[nvq->upend_idx].len = VHOST_DMA_IN_PROGRESS;
+ ubuf->callback = vhost_zerocopy_callback;
+ ubuf->ctx = nvq->ubufs;
+ ubuf->desc = nvq->upend_idx;
+ msg.msg_control = ubuf;
+ msg.msg_controllen = sizeof(ubuf);

'sizeof(ubuf)' where 'ubuf' is a pointer? Are you sure it shouldn't be 'sizeof(*ubuf)'?

WBR, Sergei
