I'm working on an application based on RSS multiqueue(receive side scaling), and testing it on vmware workstation, but found that vmxnet3 nic have problem with RSS.My linux virtual machine has 4 vCPUs, and vmxnet3 have 4 rx queues, but packet always arrived at queue0, queue1-queue3 are always idle.I have tried different version of linux/workstation, but got the same result. What I have tried are: wind river linux 4.3+workstation 10, centos6+workstation10, and  ceotos7+workstation11, and tried multiple verion of vmxnet3 driver: vmtools-8.8.4, vmtools-9.6.0, vmtools-9.9.0, and centos7 vmxnet3 driver.Does the multiqueue(receive side scaling) works on vmware workstation?following are some message from my modified vmxnet3 driver (print rss config when probing device, and print rx desc when receiving packets):vmxnet3 0000:13:00.0 eth2: intr type 3, mode 0, 5 vectors allocated---------- eth2 rss config: hashType=0xf rx_queues=4vmxnet3 0000:13:00.0 eth2: NIC Link is Up 10000 Mbpsvmxnet3 0000:03:00.0 eth0: intr type 3, mode 0, 5 vectors allocated---------- eth0 rss config: hashType=0xf rx_queues=4vmxnet3 0000:03:00.0 eth0: NIC Link is Up 10000 Mbpsvmxnet3 0000:0b:00.0 eth1: intr type 3, mode 0, 5 vectors allocated---------- eth1 rss config: hashType=0xf rx_queues=4vmxnet3 0000:0b:00.0 eth1: NIC Link is Up 10000 Mbpseth0-rxtx-0: rssType=0 rqID=0 rssHash=0x0(0) v4=1 v6=0 tcp=0 udp=1 tuc=1 cnc=0 ipc=1eth0-rxtx-0: rssType=0 rqID=0 rssHash=0x0(0) v4=1 v6=0 tcp=0 udp=1 tuc=1 cnc=0 ipc=1...... same messages, packets always arrived at eth0-rxtx-0, even if I changed IP address.Thanks!
