+Subject: [PATCH] vhost_net: disable zerocopy by default
+
+[ Upstream commit 098eadce3c622c07b328d0a43dda379b38cf7c5e ]
+
+Vhost_net was known to suffer from HOL[1] issues which is not easy to
+fix. Several downstream disable the feature by default. What's more,
+the datapath was split and datacopy path got the support of batching
+and XDP support recently which makes it faster than zerocopy part for
+small packets transmission.
+
+It looks to me that disable zerocopy by default is more
+appropriate. It cold be enabled by default again in the future if we
+fix the above issues.
