[PATCH] virtio-net: calculating proper msix vectors on init
Posted by Jason Wang 3 years, 1 month ago 
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 calculating the number of vectors on realize.

Consider we have N queues, the number of vectors needed is 2*N + 2
(#queue pais + 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.

Please either document that magic '2':

           vpci_dev->nvectors = 2 * MAX(net->nic_conf.peers.queues, 1)
                                + 1 /* Config interrupt */
                                + 1 /* Control vq */;

Or add self-explicit definitions and use them in place.

Ok, V2 is sent.
