Cover letter [RFC PATCH 0/9] vhost-nvme: new qemu nvme backend using nvme target
Quoted 7 lines · Ming Lin

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.

I'd expect it to be on par of qemu-nvme with ioeventfd but the question
is: why should it be better? For vhost-net, the answer is that more zerocopy can be done if you put the data path in the kernel.

But qemu-nvme is already using io_submit for the data path, perhaps there's not much to gain from vhost-nvme...
