We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has indicated it doesn't want to know. This seemed like a good idea at the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host immediately. Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is refilled constantly. We should introduce real notification thesholds to replace this logic. Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are outgoing parts of the new buffer. Here are the number of exits with lguest's crappy network implementation: Before: network xmit 7859051 recv 236420 After: network xmit 7858610 recv 118136 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> |
