-Subject: [PATCH] vhost_net: disable zerocopy by default
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-[ Upstream commit 098eadce3c622c07b328d0a43dda379b38cf7c5e ]
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Vhost_net was known to suffer from HOL[1] issues which is not easy to
|
|
|
-fix. Several downstream disable the feature by default. What's more,
|
|
|
-the datapath was split and datacopy path got the support of batching
|
|
|
-and XDP support recently which makes it faster than zerocopy part for
|
|
|
-small packets transmission.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-It looks to me that disable zerocopy by default is more
|
|
|
-appropriate. It cold be enabled by default again in the future if we
|
|
|
-fix the above issues.
