I guess that virtio-pci-legacy is used in your setup.

Here is how I setup virtio-net with Qemu

     -netdev tap,id=hostnet1,vhost=on,script=$NETWORK_SCRIPT,downscript=no \
     -device 
virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,iommu_platform=on,disable-legacy=on \

The iommu_platform=on is necessary to make vring use dma API which is a 
requirement to enable xsk_pool in virtio-net (XDP socket will be in 
zerocopy mode for this case). Otherwise, the XDP socket will fallback to 
copy mode, xsk_pool is not enabled in virtio-net that makes the 
probability to reproduce bug to be very small. Currently, when you don't 
have iommu_platform=on, you can pass the test even before the fix, so I 
think I will try to harden the selftest to make it return skip in this case.

Thanks,
