[PATCH V6 4/4 net-next] vhost: vhost TX zero-copy support

From: Shirley Ma
Date: Thu May 26 2011 - 15:57:17 EST


Hello Michael,

Let me anything I might miss from your preview's review.

Thanks
Shirley

-----------

This patch maintains the outstanding userspace buffers in the
sequence it is delivered to vhost. The outstanding userspace buffers
will be marked as done once the lower device buffers DMA has finished.
This is monitored through last reference of kfree_skb callback. Two
buffer index are used for this purpose.

The vhost passes the userspace buffers info to lower device skb
through message control. Since there will be some done DMAs when
entering vhost handle_tx. The worse case is all buffers in the vq are
in pending/done status, so we need to notify guest to release DMA done
buffers first before get any new buffers from the vq.
