Poll for network events in the context of the application calls into the network stack. This option is enabled by default.
This option can improve performance in multi-threaded applications where the Onload stack is interrupt-driven (EF_INT_DRIVEN=1
), because it can reduce lock contention. Setting EF_POLL_ON_DEMAND=0
ensures that network events are (mostly) processed in response to interrupts.
