Some questions here:

- Did we need reset the affinity of the queue here like the this?

virtqueue_set_affinity(vi->sq[*per_cpu_ptr(vi->vq_index, hcpu)], -1);
virtqueue_set_affinity(vi->rq[*per_cpu_ptr(vi->vq_index, hcpu)], -1);
I think no, we are going to unset the affinity of all the set queues,
include hcpu.

- Looks like we need also reset the percpu index when
vi->affinity_hint_set is false.
Yes, follow this and the comment on [1/3].
quoted
- Does this really need this reset? Consider we're going to reset the
percpu in CPU_DEAD?
I think resetting when CPU_DOWN_PREPARE can avoid selecting the wrong queue
on the dying CPU.
Didn't understand this. What does 'wrong queue' here mean? Looks like
you didn't change the preferable queue of the dying CPU and just change
all others.
How about setting the vq index to -1 on hcpu when doing DOWN_PREPARE?
So that let it select txq to 0 when the CPU is dying.
