[PATCH] virtio: make udp more efficient by avoiding indirect desc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



udp packet use 2 buffers at least, one for vnet_hdr and
one for skb->data.
we could change the threshold from 2 to 3, so the udp packet
which data buff only using single desc will gain from this.
the guest would avoid from allocating memory dynamically.
the host would avoid from translating indirect desc.
