Subject[RFC v3 0/7] In order support for virtio_ring, vhost and vsock.
Date
In virtio-spec 1.1, new feature bit VIRTIO_F_IN_ORDER was introduced.
When this feature has been negotiated, virtio driver will use
descriptors in ring order: starting from offset 0 in the table, and
wrapping around at the end of the table. Vhost devices will always use
descriptors in the same order in which they have been made available.
This can reduce virtio accesses to used ring.

Based on updated virtio-spec, this series realized IN_ORDER prototype in virtio
driver and vhost. Currently IN_ORDER feature supported devices are *vhost_test*
and *vsock* in vhost and virtio-net in QEMU. IN_ORDER feature works well
combined with INDIRECT feature in this patch series.

Virtio driver in_order support for packed vq hasn't been done in this patch
series now.

Guo Zhi (7):
vhost: expose used buffers
vhost_test: batch used buffer
vsock: batch buffers in tx
vsock: announce VIRTIO_F_IN_ORDER in vsock
virtio: unmask F_NEXT flag in desc_extra
virtio: in order support for virtio_ring
virtio: announce VIRTIO_F_IN_ORDER support
