VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT allows to report hash values calculated on the
host. When VHOST_NET_F_VIRTIO_NET_HDR is employed, it will report no
hash values (i.e., the hash_report member is always set to
VIRTIO_NET_HASH_REPORT_NONE). Otherwise, the values reported by the
underlying socket will be reported.

VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT requires VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1.

Is this an "issue" specific to RSS/HASH? If it's not, we need a separate patch.

Honestly, I'm not sure if it's too late to fix this.

There is nothing wrong with the current implementation.

Note that I meant the vhost_hlen part, and the current code is tricky.

The comment said:

"""
/* Supply virtio_net_hdr if VHOST_NET_F_VIRTIO_NET_HDR */
"""

So it tries to only offer virtio_net_hdr even if vhost_hlen is the set
to mrg_rxbuf len.

And this patch changes this behaviour.

mrg_rxbuf only adds the num_buffers field, which is always set for mrg_rxbuf.

The num_buffers was not set for VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 in the past, but this was also fixed with commit a3b9c053d82a ("vhost/net: Set num_buffers for virtio 1.0")

So there is no behavioral change for existing features with this patch.

Thanks

The current
implementation fills the header with zero except num_buffers, which it
fills some real value. This functionality is working fine with
VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF and VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1, which change the header size.

Now I'm adding VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT and it adds the hash_report
field, which also needs to be initialized with zero, so I'm making sure
vhost_net will also initialize it.

Others look fine.

Thanks
