[PATCH V3 2/2] vhost_net: conditionally enable tx polling

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

 



We always poll tx for socket, this is sub optimal since:

- it will be only used when we exceed the sndbuf of the socket.
- since we use two independent polls for tx and vq, this will slightly
  increase the waitqueue traversing time and more important, vhost
  could not benefit from commit
  9e641bdcfa4ef4d6e2fbaa59c1be0ad5d1551fd5 ("net-tun: restructure
  tun_do_read for better sleep/wakeup efficiency") even if we've
  stopped rx polling during handle_rx since tx poll were still left in
  the waitqueue.

Fix this by conditionally enable tx polling only when -EAGAIN were
met.

Test shows about 8% improvement on guest rx pps.

Before: ~1350000
After:  ~1460000
