This patch adds support to using the vhost-net device when using a tap backed virtio-net device. Activating vhost-net is done by appending a 'vhost=1' flag to the net device configuration. For example: 'kvm run -n mode=tap,vhost=1' This improves performance as follows: Short version ------------------ TCP Throughput: +29% UDP Throughput: +10% TCP Latency: -15% UDP Latency: -12% Long version ------------------ MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.33.4 (192.168.33.4) port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 10.00 4895.04 MIGRATED UDP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.33.4 (192.168.33.4) port 0 AF_INET Socket Message Elapsed Messages Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec 229376 65507 10.00 125287 0 6565.60 229376 10.00 106910 5602.57 MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.33.4 (192.168.33.4) port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 Local /Remote Socket Size Request Resp.
