Hi Dor,

How are you measuring performance? The numbers I've gotten with netperf before and after your patch are:

tx - 647.27mbit
rx - 89.22

tx - 27.82
rx - 79.93


I've been testing with iperf (patched with Ingo's fix).
I also tested tcp/udp (udp tx is only 550Mbps with the patch, w/o it's
only 220Mbps)

FWIW, I repeated with an scp test copying a 200mb file from /dev/shm on the host to the guest and vice versa. rx performance is around 3-4 MB/sec. Without your patch, tx performance is around 40 MB/sec whereas with your patch performance is around 30 MB/sec. So the tx drop is definitely exaggerated by netperf. I'm definitely not seeing an increase in throughput though.

Could you try a similar scp test? What sort of networking setup are you using?

My guest kernel and host kernel are both 2.6.24 (from Ubuntu Hardy).

Anthony Liguori
