Jason Wang 4afb52c2af vhost_net: batch update used ring for datacopy TX
Like commit e2b3b35eb9 ("vhost_net: batch used ring update in rx"),
this patches implements batch used ring update for datacopy TX
(zerocopy has already done some kind of batching).

Testpmd transmission from guest to host (XDP_DROP on tap) shows 25.8%
improvement (from ~3.1Mpps to ~3.9Mpps) on Broadwell i7-5600U CPU @
2.60GHz machine. Netperf TCP tests does not show obvious differences.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
