    "content": "Async enqueue offloads large copies to DMA devices, and small copies\nare still performed by the CPU. However, it requires users to get\nenqueue completed packets by rte_vhost_poll_enqueue_completed(), even\nif they are completed by the CPU when rte_vhost_submit_enqueue_burst()\nreturns. This design incurs extra overheads of tracking completed\npktmbufs and function calls, thus degrading performance on small packets.\n\nThe first patch cleans up async enqueue code, and the second patch\nenables rte_vhost_submit_enqueue_burst() to return completed packets.\n\nChange log\n==========\nv4:\n- support new API in vhost example\nv3:\n- fix incorrect ret value when DMA ring is full\n- enhance description of API declaration and programmer guide\nv2:\n- fix typo\n- rename API variables\n- update programmer guide\n\nJiayu Hu (2):\n  vhost: cleanup async enqueue\n  vhost: enhance async enqueue for small packets\n\n doc/guides/prog_guide/vhost_lib.rst |   8 +-\n examples/vhost/main.c               |  18 ++-\n lib/librte_vhost/rte_vhost_async.h  |  34 +++--\n lib/librte_vhost/vhost.c            |  14 +-\n lib/librte_vhost/vhost.h            |   7 +-\n lib/librte_vhost/vhost_user.c       |   7 +-\n lib/librte_vhost/virtio_net.c       | 258 ++++++++++++++++++++----------------\n 7 files changed, 200 insertions(+), 146 deletions(-)"
