Hi masters,
We use the Intel Corporation 82599ES NIC in our production environment. And it has 63 rx queues, every rx queue interrupt is processed by a single cpu.
The RSS configuration can be seen as follow:
RX flow hash indirection table for eno5 with 63 RX ring(s):
0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
24: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
32: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
40: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
48: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
56: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
64: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
72: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
80: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
88: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
96: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
104: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
112: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
120: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
The maximum number of RSS queues is 16. So I have some questions about this. Will other cpus except 0~15 receive the rx interrupts?
In our production environment, cpu 16~62 also receive the rx interrupts. Was our RSS misconfigured?

It really depends on which cpus are assigned to each IRQ.
Look at /proc/irq/{IRQ_NUM}/smp_affinity
Also you can have some details in Documentation/networking/scaling.rst

Hi Eric,
Each irq was assigned to a single cpu, for exapmle:
irq cpu
117 0
118 1
......
179 62
All cpus trigger interrupts not only cpus 0~15.
It seems that the result is inconsistent with the RSS hash value.
Thanks!

I misread your report, I thought you had 16 receive queues.
Why don't you change "ethtool -L eno5 rx 16", instead of trying to
configure RSS manually ?

Hi Eric,
We want to make full use of cpu resources to receive packets. So
we enable 63 rx queues. But we found the rate of interrupt growth
on cpu 0~15 is faster than other cpus(almost twice). I don't know
whether it is related to RSS configuration. We didn't make any changes
on the RSS configration after the server is up.
FYI, on another server, we use Mellanox Technologies MT27800 NIC.
The rate of interrupt growth on cpu 0~63 seems have little gap.
It's RSS configration can be seen as follow:
RX flow hash indirection table for ens2f0np0 with 63 RX ring(s):
0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16: 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24: 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
32: 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
40: 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47
48: 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55
56: 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 0
64: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
72: 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
80: 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
88: 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32
96: 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
104: 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48
112: 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56
120: 57 58 59 60 61 62 0 1
128: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
136: 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
144: 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
152: 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33
160: 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41
168: 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49
176: 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57
184: 58 59 60 61 62 0 1 2
192: 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
200: 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
208: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
216: 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34
224: 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42
232: 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50
240: 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58
248: 59 60 61 62 0 1 2 3
I am confused that why ixgbe NIC can dispatch the packets
to the rx queues that not specified in RSS configuration.
Thanks!

Perhaps make sure to change RX flow hash indirection table on the
Intel NIC then...
Maybe you changed the default configuration.
ethtool -X eno5 equal 64
Or
ethtool -X eno5 default

The maximum number of RSS queues supported by Intel Corporation 82599ES NIC
is 16. When I specify the number which is larger than 16, it shows the below message.
"Cannot set RX flow hash configuration: Invalid argument."
> Or
> ethtool -X eno5 default
This command can run sucessfully and as I saied above, it only has 16 queues.
RX flow hash indirection table for eno5 with 63 RX ring(s):
0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Hypothesis: it isn't doing so, RX is only happening on cpus (and
queues) 0-15, but the other CPUs are still sending traffic and
thus getting TX completion interrupts from their TX queues.
`ethtool -S` output has per-queue traffic stats which should
confirm this.
(But Eric is right that if you _want_ RX to use every CPU you
should just change the indirection table.)

IIRC Niantic had 4 bit entries in the RSS table or some such.
It wasn't possible to RSS across more than 16 queues at a time.
It's a great NIC but a bit dated at this point.

Yes, It only has 16 RSS queues.

I use ethtool -S to check the rx_queus stats and here is the result.
According to the below stats, all cpus have new packets received.

What's your ntuple filter setting? If it's off, I suspect it may be the
Flow Director ATR (Application Targeting Routing) feature which will
utilize all queues. I believe if you turn on ntuple filters this will
turn that feature off.

Yes, our ntuple filter setting is off. After turning on the ntuple filters, I compare the delta of recieved packets,
only 0~15 rx rings are non-zero, other rx rings are zero.
If we want to spread the packets across 0~62, how can we tune the NIC setting?
we have enabled 63 rx queues, irq_affinity and rx-flow-hash, but the 0~15 cpu
received more packets than others.

As Jakub mentioned earlier, HW RSS is only supported on this device for
16 queues. ATR will steer bi-directional traffic to utilize additional
queues, however, once its exhausted it will fallback to RSS, which is
why CPUs 0-15 are receiving more traffic than the others. I'm not aware
of a way to evenly spread the traffic beyond the 16 HW supported RSS
queues for this device.
