It was noticed that the copy_user() friends that was used to access
virtqueue metdata tends to be very expensive for dataplane
implementation like vhost since it involves lots of software check,
speculation barrier, hardware feature toggling (e.g SMAP). The
extra cost will be more obvious when transferring small packets.
This patch tries to eliminate those overhead by pin vq metadata pages
and access them through vmap(). During SET_VRING_ADDR, we will setup
those mappings and memory accessors are modified to use pointers to
access the metadata directly.
Note, this was only done when device IOTLB is not enabled. We could
use similar method to optimize it in the future.
Tests shows about ~24% improvement on TX PPS when using virtio-user +
vhost_net + xdp1 on TAP (CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is not enabled):
Before: ~5.0Mpps
After: ~6.1Mpps
