Hi: This series implement basic in order feature support for vhost_net. This feature requires both driver and device to use descriptors in order which can simplify the implementation and optimizaton for both side. The series also implement a simple optimization that avoid read available ring. Test shows 10% performance improvement. More optimizations could be done on top.
