Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 2/2] virtio-net: use mtu size as buffer length for big
 packets


在 2022/9/14 22:49, Gavin Li 写道:
> Currently add_recvbuf_big() allocates MAX_SKB_FRAGS segments for big
> packets even when GUEST_* offloads are not present on the device.
> However, if guest GSO is not supported, it would be sufficient to
> allocate segments to cover just up the MTU size and no further.
> Allocating the maximum amount of segments results in a large waste of
> buffer space in the queue, which limits the number of packets that can
> be buffered and can result in reduced performance.
>
> Therefore, if guest GSO is not supported, use the MTU to calculate the
> optimal amount of segments required.

> Below is the iperf TCP test results over a Mellanox NIC, using vDPA for
> 1 VQ, queue size 1024, before and after the change, with the iperf
> server running over the virtio-net interface.
