I am looking at the implementation of ndo_xdp_xmit() in mlx5/core/en/xdp.c (most other drivers also have similar implementations). This function is called for XDP-REDIRECT. int mlx5e_xdp_xmit(struct net_device *dev, int n, struct xdp_frame **frames, u32 flags) { ------ ------ sq_num = smp_processor_id(); if (unlikely(sq_num >= priv->channels.num)) return -ENXIO; -------- } Doesn't this restrict all ports to be bound to the same CPUs via smp_affinity? In my setup, one port has CPUs 1-63 and the other has 65-127 for a 63 queue configuration. XDP_REDIRECT will fail because 65-127 will exceed the channel count. Is that by design, or am I missing something? We can find a similar implementation for the i40e driver as well. Regards, Sanjay
