4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Matthew Cover <werekraken@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8ebebcba559a1bfbaec7bbda64feb9870b9c58da ] When writing packets to a descriptor associated with a combined queue, the packets should end up on that queue. Before this change all packets written to any descriptor associated with a tap interface end up on rx-0, even when the descriptor is associated with a different queue. The rx traffic can be generated by either of the following. 1. a simple tap program which spins up multiple queues and writes packets to each of the file descriptors 2. tx from a qemu vm with a tap multiqueue netdev The queue for rx traffic can be observed by either of the following (done on the hypervisor in the qemu case). 1. a simple netmap program which opens and reads from per-queue descriptors 2. configuring RPS and doing per-cpu captures with rxtxcpu Alternatively, if you printk() the return value of skb_get_rx_queue() just before each instance of netif_receive_skb() in tun.c, you will get 65535 for every skb. Calling skb_record_rx_queue() to set the rx queue to the queue_index fixes the association between descriptor and rx queue.
