OK this is looking a bit better now.
With scsi-mq enabled: 175 disks
virtqueue_size=64: 318 disks *
virtqueue_size=16: 775 disks *
With scsi-mq disabled: 1755 disks
* = new results
I also ran the whole libguestfs test suite with virtqueue_size=16
(with no failures shown). As this tests many different disk I/O
operations, it gives me some confidence that things generally work.
Do you have any other comments about the patches? I'm not sure I know
enough to write an intelligent commit message for the kernel patch.
Rich.
