> We find significant perfermance drop introduced by below commit,
> when vhost example is started with --mergeable 0 and inside vm,
> kernel virtio-net driver is used to do ip based forwarding.
>
> The root cause is that below commit adds support for
> VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO4 and VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO6, and when
> mergeable is disabled, it triggers big_packets path of virtio-net
> driver. In this path, virtio driver uses 19 desc with 18 4K-sized
> pages to receive each packet, so that it can receive a big packet
> with size of 64K. But QEMU only creates 256 desc entries for each
> vq, which results in that only 13 packets can be received. VM
> kernel can quickly handle those packets and go to sleep (HLT).
>
> As QEMU has no option to set the desc entries of a vq, so here,
> we disable VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO4 and VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO6
> with VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_TSO4 and VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_TSO6 when we
> disable tso of vhost example, to avoid VM kernel virtio driver
> go into big_packets path.
