From: Wei Xu <w...@redhat.com> 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
This is v3. v3: - move freeing skb from vhost to tun/tap recvmsg() to not confuse the callers. v2: - add Matthew as the reporter, thanks matthew. - moving zero headcount check ahead instead of defer consuming skb due to jason and mst's comment. - add freeing skb in favor of recvmsg() fails. Wei Xu (3): vhost: fix skb leak in handle_rx() tun: free skb in early errors tap: free skb if flags error drivers/net/tap.c | 6 +++++- drivers/net/tun.c | 14 +++++++++++--- drivers/vhost/net.c | 20 ++++++++++---------- 3 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1
