[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 net-next 5/7] xen-netback: process guest rx packets in batches

[Paul Durrant <paul.durrant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of only placing one skb on the guest rx ring at a time, process
a batch of up-to 64.  This improves performance by ~10% in some tests.
