    vhost_net: correctly check tx avail during rx busy polling · 8b949bef
    Jason Wang authored
    We check tx avail through vhost_enable_notify() in the past which is
    wrong since it only checks whether or not guest has filled more
    available buffer since last avail idx synchronization which was just
    done by vhost_vq_avail_empty() before. What we really want is checking
    pending buffers in the avail ring. Fix this by calling
    vhost_vq_avail_empty() instead.
    
    This issue could be noticed by doing netperf TCP_RR benchmark as
    client from guest (but not host). With this fix, TCP_RR from guest to
    localhost restores from 1375.91 trans per sec to 55235.28 trans per
    sec on my laptop (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz).
