[PATCH net-next 9/9] vhost_net: batch update used ring for datacopy TX

From: Jason Wang
Date: Thu Jul 19 2018 - 20:16:12 EST


Like commit e2b3b35eb989 ("vhost_net: batch used ring update in rx"),
this patches implements batch used ring update for datacopy TX
(zerocopy has already done some kind of batching).

Testpmd transmission from guest to host (XDP_DROP on tap) shows 25.8%
improvement (from ~3.1Mpps to ~3.9Mpps) on Broadwell i7-5600U CPU @
2.60GHz machine. Netperf TCP tests does not show obvious differences.
