[PATCH] qemuBuildNicDevStr: Add mq=on for multiqueue networking

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If user requested multiqueue networking, beside multiple /dev/tap and
/dev/vhost-net openings, we forgot to pass mq=on onto the -device
virtio-net-pci command line. This is advised at:

  http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Multiqueue#Enable_MQ_feature
---

Notes:
    Maybe worth backporting to maintainer branches too. The MQ was introduced in
    the 1.0.6 release.
