[RFC v2 2/7] vhost_test: batch used buffer
Posted by Guo Zhi 3 years, 7 months ago
Only add to used ring when a batch of buffer have all been used.  And if
in order feature negotiated, only add the last used descriptor for a
batch of buffer.

Though it's a test device, it would be better to try avoid memory 
allocation in the datapath.

And where is is freed?
