QEMU Multiqueue with VirtIO not working

[Matheus Stolet]

I am trying to add a network interface to QEMU that uses multiple 
queues, but when I check the number of queues for my created device 
inside the VM, only one queue is showing up. How do I create a virtual 
interface inside a VM that has multiple RX queues?

I start QEMU with the following command:

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -nographic -monitor none -serial stdio \
    -machine accel=kvm,type=q35 \
    -cpu host \
    -smp 11 \
    -m 10G \
    -snapshot \
    -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::2220-:22 \
    -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 \
    -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/vhost0 
\
    -netdev 
type=vhost-user,chardev=char0,vhostforce=on,queues=12,id=net1 \
    -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net1,mac=$mac,mq=on,vectors=26 \
    -object 
memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=10G,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \
    -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
    -drive if=virtio,format=qcow2,file="base.snapshot.qcow2" \
    -drive if=virtio,format=raw,file="seed.img"

And this is the result of the ethtool command:
sudo ethtool -S enp0s2
NIC statistics:
     rx_queue_0_packets: 233
     rx_queue_0_bytes: 284704
     rx_queue_0_drops: 0
     rx_queue_0_xdp_packets: 0
     rx_queue_0_xdp_tx: 0
     rx_queue_0_xdp_redirects: 0
     rx_queue_0_xdp_drops: 0
     rx_queue_0_kicks: 1
     tx_queue_0_packets: 104
     tx_queue_0_bytes: 9140
     tx_queue_0_xdp_tx: 0
     tx_queue_0_xdp_tx_drops: 0
     tx_queue_0_kicks: 80
So I can actually run clients and servers that use this interface, but 
it seems like I am only using one RX queue, so performance is not very 
good.Furthermore, when I run ethtool -l enp0s2 I noticed that despite 
mq=on and queues=12, the current hardware setting and the pre-set 
maximums indicate that combined=1. From other examples, the value for 
combined is the number of queues created. When I try to configure the 
number of queues used by the NIC with the following command ethtool -L 
enp0s2 combined 10 I get the following error Cannot set device channel 
parameters: Invalid argument
