So consider we bind xsk to queue 4, how can you make sure the traffic to 
be directed queue 4? One possible solution is to use filters as what 
suggested in af_xdp.rst:

       ethtool -N p3p2 rx-flow-hash udp4 fn
       ethtool -N p3p2 flow-type udp4 src-port 4242 dst-port 4242 \
           action 16
...

But virtio-net doesn't have any filters that could be programmed from 
the driver.

Anything I missed here?

Thanks

I'm not sure I get you here. Note that. one advantage of AF_XDP is that 
is allows XSK to be bound to a specific queue and the rest could still 
be used by kernel.

With the help of filters the card can select a specific queue based on 
hash or n-tuple so it should work?

Yes, so do you want to do that? It would make virtio-net more user 
friendly to AF_XDP. (Or if you wish I can post patch to extend the spec).

Right, though spec suggest a automatic steering algorithm but it's not 
mandatory. Vendor can implement their own.

But hash or ntuple filter should be still useful.

Would appreciate a bit more data on this one. Is this a host bug? Device bug?

It would be better to send this as a separated patch. Several people

This is sub-optimal. We need figure out the root cause. We don't meet 
such issue before.

Several questions:

- is tx interrupt enabled?
- can you still see the issue if you disable event index?
- what's backend did you use? qemu or vhost(user)?

That's fine, but a question here.

How is the multieuque being handled here. I'm asking since there's no 
programmable filters/directors support in virtio spec now.

[PATCH netdev 0/5] virtio-net support xdp socket zero copy xmit

[Xuan Zhuo]

The first patch made some adjustments to xsk.

The second patch itself can be used as an independent patch to solve the problem
that XDP may fail to load when the number of queues is insufficient.

The third to last patch implements support for xsk in virtio-net.

A practical problem with virtio is that tx interrupts are not very reliable.
There will always be some missing or delayed tx interrupts. So I specially added
a point timer to solve this problem. Of course, considering performance issues,
The timer only triggers when the ring of the network card is full.

Regarding the issue of virtio-net supporting xsk's zero copy rx, I am also
developing it, but I found that the modification may be relatively large, so I
consider this patch set to be separated from the code related to xsk zero copy
rx.

Xuan Zhuo (5):
  xsk: support get page for drv
  virtio-net: support XDP_TX when not more queues
  virtio-net, xsk: distinguish XDP_TX and XSK XMIT ctx
  xsk, virtio-net: prepare for support xsk
  virtio-net, xsk: virtio-net support xsk zero copy tx
