Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next] tun: support retrieving multiple packets in a single read with IFF_MULTI_READ
This patch adds the IFF_MULTI_READ flag. This has the following behavior.
1) If a read is too short for a packet, a single stripped packet will be read
2) If a read is long enough for multiple packets, as many *full* packets
will be read as possible. We will not return a stripped packet, so even if
there are many, many packets, we may get a short read.
In casual performance testing with a simple test program that simply reads
and counts packets, IFF_MULTI_READ conservatively yielded a 30% CPU win, as
measured by top. Load was being driven by a bunch of hpings running on a
server on the same L2 network (single hop through a top-of-rack switch).
