Hello everyone, This RFC implements packed ring support in virtio driver. Some simple functional tests have been done with Jason's packed ring implementation in vhost: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/23/12 Both of ping and netperf worked as expected (with EVENT_IDX disabled). TODO: - Refinements (for code and commit log); - More tests; - Bug fixes; RFC v3 -> RFC v4: - Make ID allocation support out-of-order (Jason); - Various fixes for EVENT_IDX support; RFC v2 -> RFC v3: - Split into small patches (Jason); - Add helper virtqueue_use_indirect() (Jason); - Just set id for the last descriptor of a list (Jason); - Calculate the prev in virtqueue_add_packed() (Jason); - Fix/improve desc suppression code (Jason/MST); - Refine the code layout for XXX_split/packed and wrappers (MST); - Fix the comments and API in uapi (MST); - Remove the BUG_ON() for indirect (Jason); - Some other refinements and bug fixes; RFC v1 -> RFC v2: - Add indirect descriptor support - compile test only; - Add event suppression supprt - compile test only; - Move vring_packed_init() out of uapi (Jason, MST); - Merge two loops into one in virtqueue_add_packed() (Jason); - Split vring_unmap_one() for packed ring and split ring (Jason); - Avoid using '%' operator (Jason); - Rename free_head -> next_avail_idx (Jason); - Add comments for virtio_wmb() in virtqueue_add_packed() (Jason); - Some other refinements and bug fixes; Thanks!
