I wonder if this would cause overhead when hash reporting is not enabled?

It only adds two branches in the data path. The first one is in tun_vnet_hash_report(), which determines to add the hash value to sk_buff. The second one is in tun_vnet_hdr_from_skb(), which determines to report the added hash value.

Tile should be for tap as well or is this just for tun?

It is also for tap. I will update the title in v6.

Any reason that tap uses skb->cb but not skb extensions? (And is it
safe to use that without cloning?)

tun adds virtio_net_hash to a skb in ndo_select_queue(), but it does not immediately put it into its ptr_ring; instead ndo_start_xmit() does so. It is hard to ensure that nobody modifies skb->cb between the two calls.

The situation is different for tap. tap_handle_frame() adds virtio_net_hash to a skb and immediately adds it in its ptr_ring so nobody should touch it between that.

Is using txq required when not l4_hash is required by the virtio-spec?

It is a limitation of the implementation. A hardware driver may set a hash value with skb_set_hash(), which takes enum pkt_hash_types. The enum is defined as follows:
enum pkt_hash_types {
	PKT_HASH_TYPE_NONE,	/* Undefined type */
	PKT_HASH_TYPE_L2,	/* Input: src_MAC, dest_MAC */
	PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3,	/* Input: src_IP, dst_IP */
	PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4,	/* Input: src_IP, dst_IP, src_port, dst_port */
};

A hash value with PKT_HASH_TYPE_L2 must be ignored as the virtio spec does not have a corresponding hash type. The virtio spec has corresponding hash types for PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3 and PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4 so we should report them with the virtio_net header.

However, skb only tells whether the hash is PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4 or not. So tun reports skb->hash with a L4 hash type if the hash is PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4. Otherwise it ignores skb->hash and uses the hash value computed its own because it cannot tell if skb->hash is PKT_HASH_TYPE_L2 or PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3.

This seems not elegant (passing three NULL pointers). Any reason we
can't just modify __tun_chr_ioctl() instead of introducing things like
tun_vnet_ioctl()?

tun_vnet_ioctl() is introduced with patch "tun: Unify vnet implementation". We can abandon unifying the ioctl handling if the interface looks too awkward.

Let's find a way to reuse virtio-net uAPI instead of introducing new
stuff to stress the management layer.

I found include/uapi/linux/virtio_net.h inappropriate for this ioctl.

It has the following structure for hash reporting:

struct virtio_net_hash_config {
	__le32 hash_types;
	/* for compatibility with virtio_net_rss_config */
	__le16 reserved[4];
	__u8 hash_key_length;
	__u8 hash_key_data[/* hash_key_length */];
};

We do not care hash_key_length and hash_key_data.

It has the following structure for RSS and hash reporting when RSS is enabled:

struct virtio_net_rss_config {
	__le32 hash_types;
	__le16 indirection_table_mask;
	__le16 unclassified_queue;
	__le16 indirection_table[1/* + indirection_table_mask */];
	__le16 max_tx_vq;
	__u8 hash_key_length;
	__u8 hash_key_data[/* hash_key_length */];
};

This structure is hard to use as it has data members after the indirection_table flexible array. max_tx_vq is not our interest either.

I tested the usability of ioctl by actually using it in QEMU. The RFC patch series is available at:
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20240915-hash-v3-0-79cb08d28647@xxxxxxxxxx/

I think we don't need & here.

This needs to be fixed?

We don't use a hash value to select a queue in such a case so there is no point to report one.

That's certainly doable though I'm a bit worrying that exhausting all bits of IFF_XXX.
