Greetings:

Welcome to v5. Patches 1, 2, and 4 have no functional changes only
updated tags. Patch 3 was refactored as requested by Jason. See the
changelog below and the commit message for details.

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 :)

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.

As per the discussion on the v4 [3], patch 3 has been refactored to hold
RTNL only in the specific locations which need it as Jason requested.

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

    from Lei. No functional changes.
  - Patch 3:
    - Refactored as Jason requested, eliminating the

      RTNL in the 3 locations where needed (refill_work, freeze, and
      restore).
    - Commit message updated to outline the known paths at the time the
      commit was written.
