2018-03-20packed virtqueues: more efficient virtqueue layoutMichael S. Tsirkin
Performance analysis of this is in my kvm forum 2016 presentation. The idea is to have a r/w descriptor in a ring structure, replacing the used and available ring, index and descriptor buffer. This is also easier for devices to implement than the 1.0 layout. Several more enhancements will be necessary to actually make this efficient for devices to use. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
