What bothers me here is what happens if cache gets
filled on one numa node, then used on another?

not really descriptive. also pls eschew abbreviation.

hmm this puts extra pressure on cache. you never need to drop
things in the middle. llist_head would be better I
think ... no?

this bothers me. Do we really need a full VQ's worth of
indirect descriptors? Can't we set a limit on how many
are used?

replace with an inline function pls. in fact we dont need
__desc_cache_put at all.

So e.g. for rx, we are wasting memory since indirect isn't used.
