[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V2] virtio-net: calculate proper msix vectors on init

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V2] virtio-net: calculate proper msix vectors on init

[Jason Wang]

Currently, the default msix vectors for virtio-net-pci is 3 which is
obvious not suitable for multiqueue guest, so we depends on the user
or management tools to pass a correct vectors parameter. In fact, we
can simplifying this by calculate the number of vectors on init.

Consider we have N queues, the number of vectors needed is 2*N + 2
(plus one config interrupt and control vq). We didn't check whether or
not host support control vq because it was added unconditionally by
qemu to avoid breaking legacy guests such as Minix.

Thanks for the reviewing.

The patch has one issue that it may breaks the migration if "vectors="
was not specified.

I will post a new version.

Thanks

Hi Gonglei:

Thanks for the reviewing. Looks like this patch has a bug which will
break the migration if "vectors=" is not specified.

Will post a new version.

Yes, you are right, Jason.
You need to add backwards-compatibility properties in hw/pc.h
