Subject: [PATCH v2 01/10] tap: Convert packet pools to per-queue-pair arrays for multiqueue
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 18:23:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731162329.3552800-2-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731162329.3552800-1-lvivier@redhat.com>

Convert the global pool_tap4 and pool_tap6 packet pools from single
pools to arrays of pools, one for each queue pair. This change is
necessary to support multiqueue operation in vhost-user mode, where
multiple queue pairs may be processing packets concurrently.

The pool storage structures (pool_tap4_storage and pool_tap6_storage)
are now arrays of VHOST_USER_MAX_VQS/2 elements, with corresponding
pointer arrays (pool_tap4 and pool_tap6) for accessing them.

Add a qpair parameter to tap_flush_pools() so it flushes the correct
pool.  tap4_handler() and tap6_handler() now use the qpair they
already receive to index into the pool arrays.  Add bounds checking
assertions in tap_handler() and tap_add_packet().

In passt and pasta modes, all operations use QPAIR_DEFAULT. In
vhost-user mode, the queue pair is derived from the virtqueue index
via QPAIR_FROM_QUEUE().

All pools within the array share the same buffer pointer:
- In vhost-user mode: Points to the vhost-user memory structure, which
  is safe as packet data remains in guest memory and pools only track
  iovecs
- In passt/pasta mode: Points to pkt_buf, which is safe as only queue
  pair 0 is used
