Commit Message

Ma, WenwuX Aug. 26, 2022, 5:31 a.m. UTC 
  Offloading small packets to DMA degrades throughput 10%~20%,
and this is because DMA offloading is not free and DMA is not
good at processing small packets. In addition, control plane
packets are usually small, and assign those packets to DMA will
significantly increase latency, which may cause timeout like
TCP handshake packets. Therefore, this patch use CPU to perform
small copies in vhost.

Signed-off-by: Wenwu Ma <wenwux.ma@intel.com>

v3:
* compare threshold with entire packet length
v2:
* fix CI build error
