[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/10] virtio/vring: optimization patches

[Paolo Bonzini]

This includes two optimization of virtio:

- "slimming down" VirtQueueElements by not including room for
  1024 buffers.  This makes malloc much faster.

- optimizations to limit the number of address_space_translate
  calls in virtio.c from Vincenzo and myself.

Thanks,

Paolo

Paolo Bonzini (7):
  virtio: move VirtQueueElement at the beginning of the structs
  virtio: move allocation to virtqueue_pop/vring_pop
  virtio: introduce qemu_get/put_virtqueue_element
  virtio: introduce virtqueue_alloc_element
  virtio: slim down allocation of VirtQueueElements
  vring: slim down allocation of VirtQueueElements
  virtio: combine the read of a descriptor

Vincenzo Maffione (3):
  virtio: cache used_idx in a VirtQueue field
  virtio: read avail_idx from VQ only when necessary
  virtio: combine write of an entry into used ring
