Hi,

Here is the updated patch set for enabling vhost-user multiple queue.

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 1-4 are all prepare works for actually enabling multiple queue.

Patch 5 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 6 introduces the VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE message, to enable
or disable a specific vring.

Note that I haven't done any formal test yet, it just passes build
test and basic functional test, such as it does exit when backend
doesn't support # of requested queues. Here I sent it out just for
more comments, and for avoiding spending too much effort on the wrong
track.


v8: - set vq_index for vhost-user inside vhost_net_init() based on the
      net->nc->queue_index field. Per Jason Wang suggested, we can't
      move the vhost_net_set_vq_index() ahead to inside of vhost_net_init(),
      as it will break vhost-kernel multiple queue support(with tap).
      And that's why it's one patch less in this version.


    - Rename VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_FLAG to VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE.


Thanks.
