Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 00/12] XDP batching for TUN/vhost_net

Hi all:

We do not support XDP batching for TUN since it can only receive one
packet a time from vhost_net. This series tries to remove this
limitation by:

- introduce a TUN specific msg_control that can hold a pointer to an
  array of XDP buffs
- try copy and build XDP buff in vhost_net
- store XDP buffs in an array and submit them once for every N packets
  from vhost_net
- since TUN can only do native XDP for datacopy packet, to simplify
  the logic, split datacopy out logic and only do batching for
  datacopy.

With this series, TX PPS can improve about 34% from 2.9Mpps to
3.9Mpps when doing xdp_redirect_map between TAP and ixgbe.

Thanks
