 You should use __get_cpu_var() instead of smp_processor_id() here, ie:

 else if ((txq = __get_cpu_var(vq_index)) == -1)

 And AFAICT, no reason to initialize txq to 0 to start with.

 So:

 int txq;

 if (skb_rx_queue_recorded(skb))
 txq = skb_get_rx_queue(skb);
 else {
 txq = __get_cpu_var(vq_index);
 if (txq == -1)
 txq = 0;
 }

 Got it, thank you.


 Now, just to confirm, I assume this can happen even if we use vq_index,
 right, because of races with virtnet_set_channels?

 I still can't understand this race, could you explain more? thank you.
 
 I assume that someone can call virtnet_set_channels() while we are
 inside virtnet_select_queue(), so they reduce dev-real_num_tx_queues,
 causing virtnet_set_channels to do:
 
   while (unlikely(txq = dev-real_num_tx_queues))
   txq -= dev-real_num_tx_queues;
 
 Otherwise, when is this loop called?

How about just remove this loop? 

Eric, can you give a help here?

Thanks,
Wanlong Gao

 
 Thanks,

In fact, this race can result in the TX scheduler using a queue that has
been disabled, or other weirdness (consider what happens if
real_num_tx_queues increases between those two uses).

virtnet_set_channels() really must disable TX temporarily:

netif_tx_lock(dev);
netif_device_detach(dev);
netif_tx_unlock(dev);
...
netif_device_attach(dev);

[PATCH V3 1/2] virtio-net: fix the set affinity bug when CPU IDs are not consecutive

2013-01-08 Thread Wanlong Gao 
As Michael mentioned, set affinity and select queue will not work very
well when CPU IDs are not consecutive, this can happen with hot unplug.
Fix this bug by traversal the online CPUs, and create a per cpu variable
to find the mapping from CPU to the preferable virtual-queue.

 This looks suboptimal since it may leads only txq zero is used.
 So, which value is best for txq when we don't set affinity?
 just remain to smp_processor_id()?

The value which will let us use all queues are ok.

How about this?
 
i = 0;
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
per_cpu(vq_index, cpu) = ++i % vi-curr_queues;
 Thanks,
