[PATCH net-next 1/2] macvtap: avoid hash calculating for single queue

From: Jason Wang
Date: Fri Jul 15 2016 - 03:46:42 EST


We decide the rxq through calculating its hash which is not necessary
if we only have one rx queue. So this patch skip this and just return
queue 0. Test shows 22% improving on guest rx pps.
