Subject: vhost + multiqueue + RSS question.
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2014 18:18:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141116161818.GD7589@cloudius-systems.com> (raw)

Hi Michael,

 I am playing with vhost multiqueue capability and have a question about
vhost multiqueue and RSS (receive side steering). My setup has Mellanox
ConnectX-3 NIC which supports multiqueue and RSS. Network related
parameters for qemu are:

   -netdev tap,id=hn0,script=qemu-ifup.sh,vhost=on,queues=4
   -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1,mq=on,vectors=10

In a guest I ran "ethtool -L eth0 combined 4" to enable multiqueue.

I am running one tcp stream into the guest using iperf. Since there is
only one tcp stream I expect it to be handled by one queue only but
this seams to be not the case. ethtool -S on a host shows that the
stream is handled by one queue in the NIC, just like I would expect,
but in a guest all 4 virtio-input interrupt are incremented. Am I
missing any configuration?
