Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/6] vhost: add Tx zero copy support
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 16:10:33 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1471939839-29778-1-git-send-email-yuanhan.liu@linux.intel.com> (raw)

This patch set enables vhost Tx zero copy. The majority work goes to
patch 4: vhost: add Tx zero copy.

The basic idea of Tx zero copy is, instead of copying data from the
desc buf, here we let the mbuf reference the desc buf addr directly.

The major issue behind that is how and when to update the used ring.
You could check the commit log of patch 4 for more details.

Patch 5 introduces a new flag, RTE_VHOST_USER_TX_ZERO_COPY, to enable
Tx zero copy, which is disabled by default.

Few more TODOs are left, including handling a desc buf that is across
two physical pages, updating release note, etc. Those will be fixed
in later version. For now, here is a simple one that hopefully it
shows the idea clearly.

I did some quick tests, the performance gain is quite impressive.

For a simple dequeue workload (running rxonly in vhost-pmd and runnin
txonly in guest testpmd), it yields 40+% performance boost for packet
size 1400B.

For VM2VM iperf test case, it's even better: about 70% boost.
