[PATCH net-next v6 4/4] virtio_net: Use persistent NAPI config

From: Joe Damato
Date: Thu Mar 06 2025 - 20:13:52 EST


Use persistent NAPI config so that NAPI IDs are not renumbered as queue
counts change.

$ sudo ethtool -l ens4 | tail -5 | egrep -i '(current|combined)'
Current hardware settings:
Combined: 4

$ ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py \
--spec Documentation/netlink/specs/netdev.yaml \
--dump queue-get --json='{"ifindex": 2}'
[{'id': 0, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8193, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 1, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8194, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 2, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8195, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 3, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8196, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 0, 'ifindex': 2, 'type': 'tx'},
{'id': 1, 'ifindex': 2, 'type': 'tx'},
{'id': 2, 'ifindex': 2, 'type': 'tx'},
{'id': 3, 'ifindex': 2, 'type': 'tx'}]

Now adjust the queue count, note that the NAPI IDs are not renumbered:

$ sudo ethtool -L ens4 combined 1
$ ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py \
--spec Documentation/netlink/specs/netdev.yaml \
--dump queue-get --json='{"ifindex": 2}'
[{'id': 0, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8193, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 0, 'ifindex': 2, 'type': 'tx'}]

$ sudo ethtool -L ens4 combined 8
$ ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py \
--spec Documentation/netlink/specs/netdev.yaml \
--dump queue-get --json='{"ifindex": 2}'
[{'id': 0, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8193, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 1, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8194, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 2, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8195, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 3, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8196, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 4, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8197, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 5, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8198, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 6, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8199, 'type': 'rx'},
{'id': 7, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8200, 'type': 'rx'},
[...]
