From: Wei Xu <address@hidden>
Changes in V4:
- Add new host feature bit
- Replace using fixed header lenght with dynamic header lenght in VirtIONet
- Change ip/ip6 header union in NetRscUnit to void* pointer
- Add macro prefix, adjust code indent, etc.
Changes in V3:
- Removed big param list, replace it with 'NetRscUnit'
- Different virtio header size
- Modify callback function to direct call.
- Needn't check the failure of g_malloc()
- Other code format adjustment, macro naming, etc
Changes in V2:
- Add detailed commit log
This patch is to support WHQL test for Windows guest, while this feature also
benifits other guest works as a kernel 'gro' like feature with userspace
implementation.
Feature information:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/jj853324
Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported, though performance with userspace virtio
is slow than vhost-net, there is about 1.5x to 2x performance improvement to
userspace virtio, this is done by turning this feature on and disable
'tso/gso/gro' on corresponding tap interface and guest interface, while get
less improment with all these feature on.
Linux guest performance data(Netperf):

Test steps:
Although this feature is mainly used for window guest, i used linux guest to
help test
the feature, to make things simple, i used 3 steps to test the patch as i moved
on.
1. With a tcp socket client/server pair running on 2 linux guest, thus i can
control
the traffic and debugging the code as i want.
2. Netperf on linux guest test the throughput.
3. WHQL test with 2 Windows guests.
Current status:
IPv4 pass all the above tests.
IPv6 just passed test step 1 and 2 as described ahead, the virtio nic cannot
receive any packet in WHQL test, trying with a win debug binary
Note:
A 'MessageDevice' nic chose as 'Realtek' will panic the system sometimes during
setup, this can be figured out by replacing it with an 'e1000' nic.
Todo:
More sanity check and tcp 'ecn' and 'window' scale test.
