Matthew found a roughly 40% tcp throughput regression with commit
|
|
c67df11f(vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array) as discussed
|
|
in the following thread:
|
|
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg187936.html
|
|
|
|
Eventually we figured out that it was a skb leak in handle_rx()
|
|
when sending packets to the VM. This usually happens when a guest
|
|
can not drain out vq as fast as vhost fills in, afterwards it sets
|
|
off the traffic jam and leaks skb(s) which occurs as no headcount
|
|
to send on the vq from vhost side.
|
|
|
|
This can be avoided by making sure we have got enough headcount
|
|
before actually consuming a skb from the batched rx array while
|
|
transmitting, which is simply done by moving checking the zero
|
|
headcount a bit ahead.
