David S. Miller 29afde5051 Merge branch 'virtio_net-Expand-affinity-to-arbitrary-numbers-of-cpu-and-vq'
Caleb Raitto says:

====================
virtio_net: Expand affinity to arbitrary numbers of cpu and vq

Virtio-net tries to pin each virtual queue rx and tx interrupt to a cpu if
there are as many queues as cpus.

Expand this heuristic to configure a reasonable affinity setting also
when the number of cpus != the number of virtual queues.

Patch 1 allows vqs to take an affinity mask with more than 1 cpu.
Patch 2 generalizes the algorithm in virtnet_set_affinity beyond
the case where #cpus == #vqs.

v2 changes:
Renamed "virtio_net: Make vp_set_vq_affinity() take a mask." to
"virtio: Make vp_set_vq_affinity() take a mask."

Tested:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
