[RFC V7 PATCH 6/7] vhost: interrupt coalescing support

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

 



This patch implements basic interrupt coalescing support. This is done
by introducing two new per virtqueue parameters:

- max_coalescced_buffers: maximum number of buffers before trying to
  issue an interrupt.
- coalesce_usecs: maximum number of microseconds waited if at least
  one buffer is pending before trying to issue an interrupt.

A new ioctl was also introduced for userspace to set or get the above
two values.

The number of coalesced buffers were increased in vhost_add_used_n()
and vhost_signal() was modified that it will only try to issue an
interrupt when:

- The number of coalesced buffers exceed or is equal to
  max_coalesced_buffes.
- The time since last signal trying exceed or is equal to
  coalesce_usecs.

When neither of the above two conditions were met, the interrupt was
delayed and during exit of a round of processing, device specific code
will call vhost_check_coalesce_and_signal() to check the above two
conditions again and schedule a timer for delayed interrupt if the
conditions were still not met.
