Merge branch 'tun-skb_array'
Jason Wang says:
====================
switch to use tx skb array in tun
This series tries to switch to use skb array in tun. 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 V3:
- fix kbuild warnings
- call NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN on IFLA_TXQLEN
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
