Re: [PATCH RFC 0/4] xfs: Transmit flow steering

Here is a quick look at performance tests for the result of trying the prototype fix for the packet reordering problem with VMs sending over an XPS-configured NIC. In particular, the Emulex/Avago/Broadcom Skyhawk. The fix was applied to a 4.4 kernel. Before: 3884 Mbit/s After: 8897 Mbit/s

[PATCH RFC 0/4] xfs: Transmit flow steering

This patch set introduces transmit flow steering. The idea is that we record the transmit queues in a flow table that is indexed by skbuff. The flow table entries have two values: the queue_index and the head cnt of packets from the TX queue. We only allow a queue to change for a flow if the tail
