This patch raises rx ring memory consumption from 128 * 4KB = 512KB to 128 * 64KB = 8MB.
Michael, Jason: Any advice regarding rx/tx ring sizes and buffer sizes?
Depending on rx ring size and the workload's packet size, different values might be preferred.
This could become a tunable in the future. It determines the size of the guest driver's rx buffers. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
