[PATCH net-next RFC V3 3/3] vhost_net: basic polling support

From: Jason Wang
Date: Thu Nov 12 2015 - 05:17:10 EST


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.
