Description ybendito 2020-08-04 06:51:25 UTC

Description of extension:
Currently in case of multiple vqueues in virtio-net the tun driver in the kernel is responsible for the receive steering. It maintains lookup table of TCPIP header hashes for transmitted packets, calculates hash for received packets and decides on RX queue to place the packet in. As now QEMU is aware of RSS settings of Windows quest, it can provide eBPF to tun driver to use it for faster decision of receive queue according to RSS settings.

Bulk update: Move RHEL-AV bugs to RHEL9. If necessary to resolve in RHEL8, then clone to the current RHEL8 release.

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.

Support is added to QEMU, so the QEMU is able to use RSS with EBPF (i.e. also vhost=on) from the command line with root privileges.
Now we're submitting patches to QEMU and libvirt to make it possible to use this mode when qemu runs under libvirt.
Another patches are submitted to fix EBPF functionality with libbpf 1.1

Hello Yuri

Is there still plan to fix this problem on the rhel 9.3? If not, could you please help reset the ITR to 9.4.0? Thanks in advance.

Thanks
Lei

Because of QE noticed the following upstream patch looks like made to fix current bugs, but they has not been merge into upstream master. So from the QE's perspective this bug should be move to next release, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Commits ID:
ebpf: Added eBPF initialization by fds and map update.
virtio-net: Added property to load eBPF RSS with fds.
ebpf: Added declaration/initialization routines.
qmp: Added new command to retrieve eBPF blob.
