One question before the reviewing.

Do we need to deal with migration (which I think yes)?

I think we don't (yet) as this is a reference implementation and the main goal is to provide the functional reference for hardware solution.
I agree with the general direction that for complete support of RSS and hash delivery the best way is to do that in kernel using bpf.
For that, IMO, the bpf should be a part of the kernel (it uses skb fields) and the tap should receive just RSS parameters for it.
At this stage we definitely will need to add migration support and propagation of RSS parameters.
 

Thanks
