[PATCH net-next V4 1/5] vhost: generalize adding used elem

From: Jason Wang
Date: Wed Jan 23 2019 - 04:56:12 EST


Use one generic vhost_copy_to_user() instead of two dedicated
accessor. This will simplify the conversion to fine grain
accessors. About 2% improvement of PPS were seen during vitio-user
txonly test.
