This addes multiqueue support to virtio_net driver. There's two mode supported:
single queue pair mode and multiple queue pairs mode. An obvious
difference compared with a physical mq card is that virtio-net reserve
first two virtqueues when it is working in multiqueue mode, this is
used for implementing adaptive mode switching in the future. The
virtqueues that were in both mq and sq mode were initialized and only
one queue pair (single queue mode) were used at default. User could
use ethtool -L to switch to multiqueue mode withe the next patch.
Hi Jason,
This first patch looks good, but conflates three things
together:
(1) Separate per-queue structures from struct virtnet_info to allow
multiple queues. This is the mechanical part of the patch.
(2) An annotation bugfix, see below.
(3) Enabling mq using a new feature and negotiation.
Hi Rusty:
Sorry for the late response, just back from vacation.
For 1 and 3, I will split the patch as you suggested.
For 2, will fix it.
Thanks
