netvsc_vf_xmit() / dev_queue_xmit() will call VF NIC’s ndo_select_queue
or netdev_pick_tx() again. They will use skb_get_rx_queue() to get the
queue number, so the “skb-&gt;queue_mapping - 1” will be used. This may
cause the last queue of VF not been used.

Use skb_record_rx_queue() here, so that the skb_get_rx_queue() called
later will get the correct queue number, and VF will be able to use
all queues.

When using vf_ops-&gt;ndo_select_queue, the number of queues of VF is
usually bigger than the synthetic NIC. This condition may happen
often.

If the accelerated networking SRIOV VF device has lost carrier
use the synthetic network device which is available as backup
path. This is a rare case since if VF link goes down, normally
the VMBus device will also loose external connectivity as well.
But if the communication is between two VM's on the same host
the VMBus device will still work.

<content type='text'>
Now that BPF program/link management is centralized in generic net_device
code, kernel code never queries program id from drivers, so
XDP_QUERY_PROG/XDP_QUERY_PROG_HW commands are unnecessary.

This patch removes all the implementations of those commands in kernel, along
the xdp_attachment_query().

This patch was compile-tested on allyesconfig.

<title>net: hyperv: dump TX indirection table to ethtool regs</title>

An imbalanced TX indirection table causes netvsc to have low
performance. This table is created and managed during runtime. To help
better diagnose performance issues caused by imbalanced tables, it needs
make TX indirection tables visible.

Because TX indirection table is driver specified information, so
display it via ethtool register dump.

<title>hv_netvsc: add support for vlans in AF_PACKET mode</title>
<updated>2020-07-23T00:58:15+00:00</updated>

<id>fdd8fac47ce67bae17feed9b74b3505e432fe561</id>
<content type='text'>
Vlan tagged packets are getting dropped when used with DPDK that uses
the AF_PACKET interface on a hyperV guest.

The packet layer uses the tpacket interface to communicate the vlans
information to the upper layers. On Rx path, these drivers can read the
vlan info from the tpacket header but on the Tx path, this information
is still within the packet frame and requires the paravirtual drivers to
push this back into the NDIS header which is then used by the host OS to
form the packet.

This transition from the packet frame to NDIS header is currently missing
hence causing the host OS to drop the all vlan tagged packets sent by
the drivers that use AF_PACKET (ETH_P_ALL) such as DPDK.

Here is an overview of the changes in the vlan header in the packet path:

The RX path (userspace handles everything):
  1. RX VLAN packet is stripped by HOST OS and placed in NDIS header
  2. Guest Kernel RX hv_netvsc packets and moves VLAN info from NDIS
     header into kernel SKB
  3. Kernel shares packets with user space application with PACKET_MMAP.
     The SKB VLAN info is copied to tpacket layer and indication set
     TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID.
  4. The user space application will re-insert the VLAN info into the frame

The TX path:
  1. The user space application has the VLAN info in the frame.
  2. Guest kernel gets packets from the application with PACKET_MMAP.
  3. The kernel later sends the frame to the hv_netvsc driver. The only way
     to send VLANs is when the SKB is setup &amp; the VLAN is stripped from the
     frame.
  4. TX VLAN is re-inserted by HOST OS based on the NDIS header. If it sees
     a VLAN in the frame the packet is dropped.

There are no users of MEM_TYPE_ZERO_COPY. Remove all corresponding
code, including the "handle" member of struct xdp_buff.

rfc-&gt;v1: Fixed spelling in commit message. (Björn)

<title>hv_netvsc: Add XDP frame size to driver</title>

The hyperv NIC driver does memory allocation and copy even without XDP.
In XDP mode it will allocate a new page for each packet and copy over
the payload, before invoking the XDP BPF-prog.

The positive thing it that its easy to determine the xdp.frame_sz.

The XDP implementation for hv_netvsc transparently passes xdp_prog
to the associated VF NIC. Many of the Azure VMs are using SRIOV, so
majority of the data are actually processed directly on the VF driver's XDP
path. So the overhead of the synthetic data path (hv_netvsc) is minimal.

Then XDP is enabled on this driver, XDP_PASS and XDP_TX will create the
SKB via build_skb (based on the newly allocated page). Now using XDP
frame_sz this will provide more skb_tailroom, which netstack can use for
SKB coalescing (e.g tcp_try_coalesce -&gt; skb_try_coalesce).

V3: Adjust patch desc to be more positive.
