One improvment could be to use google's NVMe vendor extension that I send in another thread, aslo here:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mlin/linux.git/log/?h=nvme-google-ext

Qemu side:

Kernel side also here:

How much do you get with vhost-nvme plus vendor extension, compared to 190 MB/s for QEMU?

There is still some bug. I'll update.

Sure.

Fixed it after Thanksgiving holiday :)

Combined with previous test results(lower to higher):

qemu-nvme: 148MB/s
vhost-nvme + google-ext: 230MB/s
qemu-nvme + google-ext + eventfd: 294MB/s
virtio-scsi: 296MB/s
virtio-blk: 344MB/s

"vhost-nvme + google-ext" didn't get good enough performance. Still tuning.
