[net-next PATCH V2] virtio-net: switch to use XPS to choose txq

From: Jason Wang <hidden>
Date: 2013-09-30 07:49:32

We used to use a percpu structure vq_index to record the cpu to queue
mapping, this is suboptimal since it duplicates the work of XPS and
loses all other XPS functionality such as allowing use to configure
their own transmission steering strategy.

So this patch switches to use XPS and suggest a default mapping when
the number of cpus is equal to the number of queues. With XPS support,
there's no need for keeping per-cpu vq_index and .ndo_select_queue(),
so they were removed also.

Looks like we just need to tweak the signature there to const struct
cpumask *: it's never changed.

I just sent a patch
	[PATCH] netif_set_xps_queue: make cpu mask const
that does exactly that.
