From: Wei Xu <wexu@xxxxxxxxxx> Matthew found a roughly 40% tcp throughput regression with commit c67df11f(vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array) as discussed in the following thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg187936.html This is v3. v3: - move freeing skb from vhost to tun/tap recvmsg() to not confuse the callers. v2: - add Matthew as the reporter, thanks matthew. - moving zero headcount check ahead instead of defer consuming skb due to jason and mst's comment. - add freeing skb in favor of recvmsg() fails.
