[PATCH net-next rfc V2 2/2] vhost_net: basic polling support

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

 



This patch tries to poll for new added tx buffer for a while at the
end of tx processing. The maximum time spent on polling were limited
through a module parameter. To avoid block rx, the loop will end it
there's new other works queued on vhost so in fact socket receive
queue is also be polled.
