Hi all: This RFC implement a subset of packed ring which was described at https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-docs/blob/master/virtio-v1.1-packed-wd07.pdf . The code were tested with pmd implement by Jens at http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2018-January/089417.html. Minor change was needed for pmd codes to kick virtqueue since it assumes a busy polling backend. Test were done between localhost and guest. Testpmd (rxonly) in guest reports 2.4Mpps. Testpmd (txonly) repots about 2.1Mpps. It's not a complete implemention, here's what were missed: - Device Area - Driver Area - Descriptor indirection - Zerocopy may not be functional - Migration path is not tested - Vhost devices except for net - vIOMMU can not work (mainly because the metadata prefetch is not implemented). - See FIXME/TODO in the codes for more details - No batching or other optimizations were implemented For a quick prototype, this series open code the tracking of warp counter and descriptor index at net device. This will be addressed in the future by: - Move get_rx_bufs() from net.c to vhost.c - Let vhost_get_vq_desc() returns vring_used_elem instad of head id With the above, we can hide the internal (at least part of) vring layout from specific device. Please review.
