Calling virtqueue_napi_schedule() in wakeup results in napi running on
the current cpu. If the application is not busy, then there is no
problem. But if the application itself is busy, it will cause a lot of
scheduling.
If the application is continuously sending data packets, due to the
continuous scheduling between the application and napi, the data packet
transmission will not be smooth, and there will be an obvious delay in
the transmission (you can use tcpdump to see it). When pressing a
channel to 100% (vhost reaches 100%), the cpu where the application is
located reaches 100%.
This patch sends a small amount of data directly in wakeup. The purpose
of this is to trigger the tx interrupt. The tx interrupt will be
awakened on the cpu of its affinity, and then trigger the operation of
the napi mechanism, napi can continue to consume the xsk tx queue. Two
cpus are running, cpu0 is running applications, cpu1 executes
napi consumption data. The same is to press a channel to 100%, but the
utilization rate of cpu0 is 12.7% and the utilization rate of cpu1 is
2.9%.

This looks tricky, and it won't be efficient since there could be some
contention on the tx lock.
I wonder if we can simulate the interrupt via IPI like what RPS did.
In the long run, we may want to extend the spec to support interrupt
trigger though driver.
Thanks
