Won't it limit all virtio block devices to the same limit?
It is very common to see multiple virtio-blk devices on the same system
and they probably need different limits.
Thanks
Without looking into the code, that can be done adding a configfs
interface and overriding a global value (module param) when it is set
from
configfs.
You have many ways to overcome this issue.
For example:
# ls -l /sys/block/vda/mq/
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 0 Sep 5 12:14 0
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 0 Sep 5 12:14 1
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 0 Sep 5 12:14 2
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 0 Sep 5 12:14 3

# ls -l /sys/block/vda/mq/
