Commit 5b8f3c8d30a6 ("virtio_net: Add XDP related stats") tries to count TX XDP stats in virtnet_receive(). This will cause several issues: - virtnet_xdp_sq() was called without checking whether or not XDP is set. This may cause out of bound access when there's no enough txq for XDP. - Stats were updated even if there's no XDP/XDP_TX.> Fixing this by reusing virtnet_xdp_xmit() for XDP_TX which can counts TX XDP counter itself and remove the unnecessary tx stats embedded in rx stats.Thanks for fixing this. I wanted to avoid calling u64_stats_update_begin() (i.e. smp_wmb() in 32 bit systems) for every packet. So I'd like to keep sq stats in virtnet_rx_stats.We can optimize this by adding batching on top. (virtnet_xdp_xmit() accepts an array of xdp frames). If you like, please send a patch for this.
Yes, that sounds like a better optimization. will think about it... Thanks, Toshiaki Makita _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
