Currently we break the loop and wake up the vhost_worker when sendmsg
fails. When the worker wakes up again, we'll meet the same error. This
will cause high CPU load. To fix this issue, we can skip this
description by ignoring the error.

One of the reasons for sendmsg to fail is ENOBUFS.
In that case for sure we don't want to drop packet.
Now the function tap_sendmsg()/tun_sendmsg() don't return ENOBUFS.


I think not, it can happen if we exceeds sndbuf. E.g see tun_alloc_skb().

Thanks



There could be other transient errors.
Which error did you encounter, specifically?
Currently a guest vm send a skb which length is more than 64k.
If virtio hdr is wrong, the problem will also be triggered.

Thanks
