Hi,
This patch set implements packed ring support in virtio driver.
A performance test between pktgen (pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh)
and DPDK vhost (testpmd/rxonly/vhost-PMD) has been done, I saw
~30% performance gain in packed ring in this case.
Thanks a lot, this is very exciting!
Dave, given the holiday, attempts to wrap up the 1.1 spec and the
patchset size I would very much appreciate a bit more time for
review. Say until Nov 28?
To make this patch set work with below patch set for vhost,
some hacks are needed to set the _F_NEXT flag in indirect
descriptors (this should be fixed in vhost):

Could you pls clarify - do you mean it doesn't yet work with vhost
because of a vhost bug, and to test it with the linked patches
you had to hack in _F_NEXT? Because I do not see _F_NEXT
in indirect descriptors in this patch (which is fine).
Or did I miss it?
You didn't miss anything. :)
I think it's a small bug in vhost, which Jason may fix very
quickly, so I didn't post it. Below is the hack I used:
Good catch. I didn't notice the subtle difference since split ring
requires for it.
Let me fix it in next version.
Thanks.
