[PATCH net-next v2] vhost_net: do not stall on zerocopy depletion

2017-10-06 Thread Willem de Bruijn
From: Willem de Bruijn Vhost-net has a hard limit on the number of zerocopy skbs in flight. When reached, transmission stalls. Stalls cause latency, as well as head-of-line blocking of other flows that do not use zerocopy. Instead of stalling, revert to copy-based transmission. Tested by sendin
