No, Windows guest + vhost-user/DPDK.

BTW pls see virtio spec in :

"If VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ is negotiated, each of receiveq1. . .receiveqN that will
be used SHOULD be populated
with receive buffers."

It is not mandatory that all queues must be initialized.
I think not, since it said we should fill receive buffers for each queue which
means we should initialize all queues. May Michael can clarify on this.


I think this doesn't matter, but QEMU should consider this scenario...

For example, if one queues isn't initialized (Windows guest), the vring.avail=0,
so vq->desc_phys=0, then vq->desc='a avail HVA'(which is the start addr of 
pc.ram).

     vq->desc_size = s = l = virtio_queue_get_desc_size(vdev, idx);
     vq->desc_phys = a = virtio_queue_get_desc_addr(vdev, idx);
     vq->desc = vhost_memory_map(dev, a, &l, 0);
     if (!vq->desc || l != s) {
         r = -ENOMEM;
         goto fail_alloc_desc;
     }
     .....
     r = vhost_virtqueue_set_addr(dev, vq, vhost_vq_index, dev->log_enabled);
     if (r < 0) {
         r = -errno;
         goto fail_alloc;
     }

Then the HVA is send to the vhost-user.

I think this is wrong, because the '0' here means guest driver doesn't init this
queues, it should not be used to calculate the HVA for this vq.

Yes, workaround is not hard if windows driver won't use the left 3 queues any more. But we should have a complete solution. The main problem is when vhost need to be started. For legacy device, there's no easy way to detect whether or not a specific virtqueue is ready to be used. For modern device, we can probably do this through queue_enable (but this is not implemented in current code).
