    "content": "First version of this series did merge out-of-order mergeable\nand non-mergeable receive paths, but Intel STV team highlighted\nsome performance regression when using multiqueue with two cores\nenqueueing descs on host, while a single core dequeues the\ntwo queues.\n\nI didn't manage to close the performance gap, so I decided to\ngive-up this refactoring. But while trying to optimize, I reworked\nthe meargeable function so that it looks like the in-order one.\nI.e. descriptors are now dequeued in batches, so are descriptors\nrefilled. Doing that, I measure a perfromance gain of 6% when doing\nrxonly microbenchmark with two cores on host, one in guest.\n\n\nChanges since v2:\n- Rebase after Jens' packed ring series\n- Break refill loop if VQ_RING_DESC_CHAIN_END (Tiwei)\n- Fixup commit message\n\nMaxime Coquelin (3):\n  net/virtio: inline refill and offload helpers\n  net/virtio: add non-mergeable support to in-order path\n  net/virtio: improve batching in mergeable path\n\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_ethdev.c |  14 +-\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_ethdev.h |   2 +-\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_rxtx.c   | 257 ++++++++++++++++-------------\n 3 files changed, 145 insertions(+), 128 deletions(-)"
