Hello, I was playing around a bit with cpumaps and wondered what happens when the attached program just does another CPU redirect to itself. I ended up having an infinite loop. The working example can be found here: https://github.com/aibor/cpumap-loop Now, I wonder if there is a way to detect and break this loop. I took a look at the xdp_md->rx_queue_index values. When executed by a NIC event, the value is the NIC ID, so a fairly low number. After CPU redirection the values I saw were far above the range of NIC queue IDs. I couldn't figure out if it is just a random memory value or if this value still has a (maybe different) meaning after CPU redirection. Maybe somehow related to the CPU queue? If the field is set to a meaningful value I can make assumptions about it and would be able to detect previous CPU redirection, I guess. I'd appreciate any pointers and tips how I could detect such a loop. Or maybe there is a way to prevent it in the first place other than "just being careful"? Thanks in advance, Tobias
