Subject: [PATCH V2 net-next 0/7] vhost-net rx batching

Hi all:

This series tries to implement rx batching for vhost-net. This is done
by batching the dequeuing from skb_array which was exported by
underlayer socket and pass the sbk back through msg_control to finish
userspace copying.

Tests shows at most 19% improvment on rx pps.

Please review.

Thanks

Changes from V1:
- switch to use for() in __ptr_ring_consume_batched()
- rename peek_head_len_batched() to fetch_skbs()
- use skb_array_consume_batched() instead of
  skb_array_consume_batched_bh() since no consumer run in bh
- drop the lockless peeking patch since skb_array could be resized, so
  it's not safe to call lockless one

Jason Wang (7):
  ptr_ring: introduce batch dequeuing
  skb_array: introduce batch dequeuing
  tun: export skb_array
  tap: export skb_array
  tun: support receiving skb through msg_control
  tap: support receiving skb from msg_control
  vhost_net: try batch dequing from skb array
