[PATCH net-next v2 0/4] virtio_net: Link queues to NAPIs

[Joe Damato]

Greetings:

Welcome to v2.

Recently [1], Jakub mentioned that there were a few drivers that are not
yet mapping queues to NAPIs.

While I don't have any of the other hardware mentioned, I do happen to
have a virtio_net laying around ;)

I've attempted to link queues to NAPIs, using the new locking Jakub
introduced avoiding RTNL.

Note: It seems virtio_net uses TX-only NAPIs which do not have NAPI IDs.
As such, I've left the TX NAPIs unset (as opposed to setting them to 0).

Note: I tried to handle the XDP case correctly (namely XDP queues should
not have NAPIs registered, but AF_XDP/XSK should have NAPIs registered,
IIUC). I would appreciate reviewers familiar with virtio_net double
checking me on that.

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

v2:
  - patch 1:
    - New in the v2 from Jakub.

  - patch 2:
    - Previously patch 1, unchanged from v1.
    - Added Gerhard Engleder's Reviewed-by.
    - Added Lei Yang's Tested-by.

  - patch 3:
    - Introduced virtnet_napi_disable to eliminate duplicated code
      in virtnet_xdp_set, virtnet_rx_pause, virtnet_disable_queue_pair,
      refill_work as suggested by Jason Wang.
    - As a result of the above refactor, dropped Reviewed-by and
      Tested-by from patch 3.

  - patch 4:
    - New in v2. Adds persistent NAPI configuration. See commit message
      for more details.
