RFC: vioif(4) multiqueue support
Hi all,
I implemented a patch that make vioif(4) support multi-queue. And I have put
the patch on ftp.n.o. I used vioif(4) multiqueue on qemu-kvm on Linux kernel
4.19.5. And It seems to be working fine.
https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/yamaguchi/vioif_mutilq.patch
The summary of the modification is follows:
- vioif(4)
- Set VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ bit to a features the driver requests
- Allocate resources related to rx queue and tx queue
- The number of the resources is written into the
configuration registers
- Send VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MQ_VQ_PAIRS_SET command to the device
- For the command, vioif_ctrl_mq_vq_pairs_set() is newly added
- Introduce vioif_transmit()
- virtio(4)
- Added virtio_child_attach_set_vqs()
for setup of a virtqueue array after doing virtio_child_attach_start()
- Enable per-vq MSIX vector when the child device uses multiqueue
Do you have any questions or comments about the patch?
