Series [ovs-dev,1/3] dpif-netdev: only poll enabled vhost queues | expand

Commit Message

David Marchand April 11, 2019, 2 p.m. UTC 
At the moment, a malicious guest might negotiate VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ and
!VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ in a loop which would be seen as qp_num going from 1 to
n and n to 1 continuously, triggering datapath reconfigurations at each
transition.

Limit this by only reconfiguring on increased qp_num.
The previous patch reduced the observed cost of polling disabled queues,
so the only cost is memory.
