We used to dequeue one skb during recvmsg() from skb_array, this could be inefficient because of the bad cache utilization and spinlock touching for each packet. This patch tries to batch them by calling batch dequeuing helpers explicitly on the exported skb array and pass the skb back through msg_control for underlayer socket to finish the userspace copying. Batch dequeuing is also the requirement for more batching improvement on receive path. Tests were done by pktgen on tap with XDP1 in guest.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
