From 8e845f4cbbd2ef81846c2ab5dca46d88fb2717ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David L Stevens Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 19:48:11 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] sunvnet: make transmit path zero-copy in the kernel This patch removes pre-allocated transmit buffers and instead directly maps pending packets on demand. This saves O(n^2) maximum-sized transmit buffers, for n hosts on a vswitch, as well as a copy to those buffers. Single-stream TCP throughput linux-solaris dropped ~5% for 1500-byte MTU, but linux-linux at 1500-bytes increased ~20%. Signed-off-by: David L Stevens Signed-off-by: David S.
