Current NFQUEUE target uses a hash, computed over source and destination address (and other parameters), for steering the packet to the actual NFQUEUE. This, however forgets about the fact that the packet eventually is handled by a particular CPU on user request. If E. g. 1) IRQ affinity is used to handle packets on a particular CPU already (both single-queue or multi-queue case) and/or 2) RPS is used to steer packets to a specific softirq the target easily chooses an NFQUEUE which is not handled by a process pinned to the same CPU. The idea is therefore to use the CPU index for determining the NFQUEUE handling the packet. E. g. when having a system with 4 CPUs, 4 MQ queues and 4 NFQUEUEs it looks like this: +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ |NFQ#0| |NFQ#1| |NFQ#2| |NFQ#3| +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ ^ ^ ^ ^ | |NFQUEUE | | + + + + +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ |rx-0 | |rx-1 | |rx-2 | |rx-3 | +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ The NFQUEUEs not necessarily have to start with number 0, setups with less NFQUEUEs than packet-handling CPUs are not a problem as well. This patch extends the NFQUEUE target to accept a new NFQ_FLAG_CPU_FANOUT flag. If this is specified the target uses the CPU index for determining the NFQUEUE being used. I have to introduce rev3 for this. The 'flags' are folded into _v2 'bypass'. By changing the way which queue is assigned, I'm able to improve the performance if the processes reading on the NFQUEUs are pinned correctly.
