I thought about that as well, but in my opinion this does not help much.
It's the same as before: in average every 10ms a new buffer needs to
be filled.
But, you can fill 50 or 100 at a time, so if user-space is delayed for a
few ms, the
kernel still has plenty of buffers to work with until user-space gets
another chance.
I'm not worried about average thoughput of user-space to kernel, just random
short-term starvation.
Thanks,
