Greetings:

Welcome to v4.

Jakub recently commented [1] that I should not hold this series on
virtio-net linking queues to NAPIs behind other important work that is
on-going and suggested I re-spin, so here we are :)

This is a significant refactor from the rfcv3 and as such I've dropped
almost all of the tags from reviewers except for patch 4 (sorry Gerhard
and Jason; the changes are significant so I think patches 1-3 need to be
re-reviewed).

As per the discussion on the v3 [2], now both RX and TX NAPIs use the
API to link queues to NAPIs. Since TX-only NAPIs don't have a NAPI ID,
commit 6597e8d35851 ("netdev-genl: Elide napi_id when not present") now
correctly elides the TX-only NAPIs (instead of printing zero) when the
queues and NAPIs are linked.

See the commit message of patch 3 for an example of how to get the NAPI
to queue mapping information.

See the commit message of patch 4 for an example of how NAPI IDs are
persistent despite queue count changes.

Thanks,
Joe
