Re: [net-next PATCH v3 0/5] Symmetric queue selection using XPS for Rx queues

This patch series implements support for Tx queue selection based on
Rx queue(s) map. This is done by configuring Rx queue(s) map per Tx-queue
using sysfs attribute. If the user configuration for Rx queues does
not apply, then the Tx queue selection falls back to XPS using CPUs and
finally to hashing.

XPS is refactored to support Tx queue selection based on either the
CPUs map or the Rx-queues map. The config option CONFIG_XPS needs to be
enabled. By default no receive queues are configured for the Tx queue.

- /sys/class/net/<dev>/queues/tx-*/xps_rxqs

A set of receive queues can be mapped to a set of transmit queues (many:many),
although the common use case is a 1:1 mapping. This will enable sending
packets on the same Tx-Rx queue pair as this is useful for busy polling
multi-threaded workloads where it is not possible to pin the threads to
a CPU. This is a rework of Sridhar's patch for symmetric queueing via
socket option:

Thanks for doing this work.

I think this needs more time to sit and get reviews, and therefore needs
to be deferred to the next merge window.
