From 83bbd23331ec1d0830585408774dc603e3869b28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brandon Schneider Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 16:54:09 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat(infra): virtio-net ring as compute pipeline MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add virtio_net_transform.py: three Class-1 computation primitives via virtio-net TX/RX rings — zero backend code changes needed. 1. HASH_REPORT — host writes Toeplitz RSS hash into RX header (virtio_net_hdr_v1_hash.hash_value return channel) 2. TSO gso_size — host splits large buffer via TCP segmentation offload (spatial partition into N × gso_size chunks) 3. MRG_RXBUF — host merges multiple RX buffers (aggregation primitive) Structs: VirtioNetHdr (12B), VirtioNetHdrHash (20B), VringDesc (16B). Receipt schema: virtio_transform_receipt_v1 with CRC32 witness_hash. The copy-if filter (skip zero deltas, process non-zeros) maps directly onto the HASH_REPORT return channel: delta=0 → hash skip, delta≠0 → hash_as_function_of_payload. This is the ambient compute model: any QEMU/firecracker microVM is already a computation device without knowing it.
