Hi John:

AFAIK, disabling a specific queue was supported only by virtio 1.0 
through queue_enable field in pci common cfg. But unfortunately, qemu 
does not emulate this at all and legacy device does not even support 
this. So the safe way is probably reset the device and redo the 
initialization here.

vi->headroom look suspicious, should it be xdp->data - xdp->data_hard_start?

Instead of doing things here and virtnet_xdp_xmit(). How about always 
making skb->data point to the buffer head like:

1) reserve headroom in add_recvbuf_small()
2) skb_push(xdp->data - xdp_data_hard_start, skb) if we detect xdp->data 
was modified afer bpf_prog_run_xdp()

Then there's no special code in either XDP_PASS or XDP_TX?

We probably need reset the device here, but maybe Michale has more 
ideas. And if we do this, another interesting thing to do is to disable 
EWMA and always use a single page for each packet, this could almost 
eliminate linearizing.
