[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v11 0/7] vhost-user multiple queue support

[Yuanhan Liu]

Hi,

Here is the updated patch set for enabling vhost-user multiple queue. And I did
proper and formal testing this time.

This patch set introduces 2 more vhost user messages: VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM,
for querying how many queues the backend supports, and 
VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE,
for enabling/disabling a specific virt queue.

Both of the two new messages are treated as vhost protocol extension,
and that's why Michaels's patch "vhost-user: add protocol feature
negotiation" is also included here.

Patch 1-5 are all prepare works for actually enabling multiple queue.

Patch 6 is the major patch for enabling multiple queue, which also tries
to address two major concerns from Michael: no feedback from backend if
it can't support # of requested queues, and all messages are sent N time.
It also fixes a hidden bug.

Patch 7 introduces the VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE message, to enable
or disable a specific vring.

v11: - typo fixes pointed out by Eric

     - define a dummy vhost_net_get_max_queues() when !CONFIG_VHOST_NET.

     - Per suggested by Jason Wang, invoke qmp_set_link() directly to remove
       duplicate code.


v10: - typo fixes pointed out by Eric

     - [PATCH 6]: don't treat VHOST_USER_SET/GET_[PROTOCOL]_FEATURES as
       one time request, as the two feature bits need to be stored at
       per-device.

v9: - Per suggested by Jason Wang, patch 5 introduces a new vhost
      backend method: vhost_backend_get_vq_index().

    - Use qemu_find_net_clients_except() at net/vhost-user.c for
      gathering all related ncs so that we could register chr dev
      event handler once. Which is also suggested by Jason Wang.


Thanks.
