This is used to eliminate the spinlock contention between producer and consumer. The conversion was straightforward: just introdce a tx skb array and use it instead of sk_receive_queue. A minor issue is to keep the tx_queue_len behaviour, since tun used to use it for the length of sk_receive_queue. This is done through: - add the ability to resize multiple rings at once to avoid handling partial resize failure for mutiple rings. - add the support for zero length ring. - introduce a notifier which was triggered when tx_queue_len was changed for a netdev. - resize all queues during the tx_queue_len changing. Tests shows about 15% improvement on guest rx pps: Before: ~1300000pps After : ~1500000pps Changes from V2: - add multiple rings resizing support for ptr_ring/skb_array - add zero length ring support - introdce a NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN - drop new flags Changes from V1: - switch to use skb array instead of a customized circular buffer - add non-blocking support - rename .peek to .peek_len - drop lockless peeking since test show very minor improvement Jason Wang (5): ptr_ring: support zero length ring skb_array: minor tweak skb_array: add wrappers for resizing net: introduce NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN tun: switch to use skb array for tx Michael S.
