Jason Wang 5503fcecd4 tun: rx batching
We can only process 1 packet at one time during sendmsg(). This often
lead bad cache utilization under heavy load. So this patch tries to do
some batching during rx before submitting them to host network
stack. This is done through accepting MSG_MORE as a hint from
sendmsg() caller, if it was set, batch the packet temporarily in a
linked list and submit them all once MSG_MORE were cleared.

Tests were done by pktgen (burst=128) in guest over mlx4(noqueue) on host:

                                 Mpps  -+%
    rx-frames = 0                0.91  +0%
    rx-frames = 4                1.00  +9.8%
    rx-frames = 8                1.00  +9.8%
    rx-frames = 16               1.01  +10.9%
    rx-frames = 32               1.07  +17.5%
    rx-frames = 48               1.07  +17.5%
    rx-frames = 64               1.08  +18.6%
    rx-frames = 64 (no MSG_MORE) 0.91  +0%

User were allowed to change per device batched packets through
ethtool -C rx-frames. NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT were used as upper limitation
to prevent bh from being disabled too long.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
