This is a patch based on Krishna Kumar's patch series which implements multiple VQ support for virtio-net. The patch was tested with ver3 of the patch. Cc: Krishna Kumar <redacted> Cc: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <redacted> Cc: virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <redacted>Any performance numbers?I tried finding a box with more than two cores so I could test it on something like that as well. From what I see this patch causes a performance regression on my 2 core box.
[snip] After discussing it with Michael, we found out that for a single TCP flow the guest signals the same TX VQ, but the RX VQ keeps changing - which means that theres missing host-guest synchronization of hash flow. -- Sasha.
