[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/7 v7] vhost-user multiple queue support

[Yuanhan Liu]

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_FLAG,
for enabling/disabling a specific virt queue.

Both of th 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 work for actually enabling multiple queue.

Patch 6 is the key patch for enabling multiple queue, which 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 an hidden bug.

Patch 7 introduces the VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_FLAG message.

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.

Thanks.
