[PATCH net-next] vhost_net: stop rx net polling when possible
From: Jason Wang
Date: Thu Aug 14 2014 - 23:40:27 EST
After rx vq was enabled, we never stop polling its socket. This is sub optimal
when may lead unnecessary wake-ups after the rx net work has already been
queued. This could be optimized by stopping polling the rx net sock when
processing both rx and tx and restart it afterward. This could save unnecessary
wake-ups and even unnecessary spin locks acquiring with the help of commit
9e641bdcfa4ef4d6e2fbaa59c1be0ad5d1551fd5 "net-tun: restructure tun_do_read for
better sleep/wakeup efficiency".
Test shows significant CPU% savings during almost all the cases:
