The VirtIO Vsock guest/host communication interface using virtual sockets will see better performance with the in-development [1]Linux 6.12 kernel.
Sent out this week were the [2]VirtIO updates for Linux 6.12. The VirtIO kernel work this cycle includes new stats for the VirtIO Balloon driver, VDPA supports setting the MAC address, VDPA/MLX5 suspend/resume operations are faster, and enhancing the performance of the VirtIO Vsock code.
Luigi Leonardi authored the change to vsock/virtio to avoid queuing packets when the intermediate queue is empty. This VirtIO Vsock change can make a significant impact to lowering the latency and boosting the throughput as shown in the prior patch comments:
Some very nice improvements to enjoy with Linux 6.12.
