      xen-netfront: always keep the Rx ring full of requests · 1f3c2eba
      David Vrabel 提交于
      A full Rx ring only requires 1 MiB of memory.  This is not enough
      memory that it is useful to dynamically scale the number of Rx
      requests in the ring based on traffic rates, because:
      
      a) Even the full 1 MiB is a tiny fraction of a typically modern Linux
         VM (for example, the AWS micro instance still has 1 GiB of memory).
      
      b) Netfront would have used up to 1 MiB already even with moderate
         data rates (there was no adjustment of target based on memory
         pressure).
      
      c) Small VMs are going to typically have one VCPU and hence only one
         queue.
      
      Keeping the ring full of Rx requests handles bursty traffic better
      than trying to converge on an optimal number of requests to keep
      filled.
      
      On a 4 core host, an iperf -P 64 -t 60 run from dom0 to a 4 VCPU guest
      improved from 5.1 Gbit/s to 5.6 Gbit/s.  Gains with more bursty
      traffic are expected to be higher.
