As testing shows no performance change, switch to that now.

Batching is enabled if max_descs > UIO_MAXIOV.

So this uses batching for test.

But net is unchanged, so it is still not using the batched version.
Is that right?

I think a better subject would be "vhost/test: use batched get_vq_desc version".

And that explains which testing it refers to: the one executed by vhost test.

I think there was a separate patch to enable that for net separately,
but it got lost - or did I miss it?

vhost_net already called vhost_dev_init with +VHOST_NET_BATCH (64):
vhost_dev_init(dev, vqs, VHOST_NET_VQ_MAX,
               UIO_MAXIOV + VHOST_NET_BATCH,
...

So it should be using batching in the same terms as vhost/test.
However I will double check it.

Kind of. In V5 there were two separate commits: One adding the batch
version and another one making them the default.

Both of them were squashed in V6 but the result got the wrong commit
message. I will fix this in the next revisions.

But I don't find any specific commit to enable explicitly in net.

Thanks!
