Hi:
Care to post the driver codes too?
OK. It may take some time to clean up the driver code before
post it out. You can first
have a check of the draft at the repo here:

Interesting, looks like there's one copy on tx side. We used to
have zerocopy support for tun for VM2VM traffic. Could you
please try to compare it with your vhost-pci-net by:
We can analyze from the whole data path - from VM1's network stack to
send packets -> VM2's
network stack to receive packets. The number of copies are actually the
same for both.
That's why I'm asking you to compare the performance. The only reason for
vhost-pci is performance. You should prove it.
There is another reason for vhost-pci besides maximum performance:
vhost-pci makes it possible for end-users to run networking or storage
appliances in compute clouds. Cloud providers do not allow end-users to
run custom vhost-user processes on the host so you need vhost-pci.
