Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fixed zero copy GSO without orphaning the fragments
> If true, I'd like to see some performance numbers please.
The numbers have been obtained by running iperf between 2 QEMU Win2012
VMs, 4 vCPU/ 4GB RAM each.
iperf parameters: -w 256K -l 256K -t 300
Original kernel 3.15.0-rc5: 34.4 Gbytes transferred, 984
Mbits/sec bandwidth.
Kernel 3.15.0-rc5 with our patch: 42.5 Gbytes transferred, 1.22
Gbits/sec bandwidth.
Overall improvement is about 24%.
Below are raw iperf outputs.
kernel 3.15.0-rc5:
