I have knew why you never met the issue.Because vhost-switch will notify guest after send every packets(performance is not every well).

static inline int __attribute__((always_inline))
virtio_tx_local(struct vhost_dev *vdev, struct rte_mbuf *m)
{
	...
	ret = rte_vhost_enqueue_burst(tdev, VIRTIO_RXQ, &m, 1/*you cant try to fill with rx_count*/);	
	..

}
