I'm not sure this can work in the case of multiqueue. E.g vhost-net
multiqueue is a N:1 mapping between vhost devics and virtio devices.

Thanks

Right. We could add an "vdev vq index" parameter to the function in
this case, but I guess the most reliable way to do this is to add a
vhost_opaque value to VirtQueue, as Stefan proposed in previous RFC.


So the question still, it looks like it's easier to hide the shadow virtqueue stuffs at vhost layer instead of expose them to virtio layer:

1) vhost protocol is stable ABI
2) no need to deal with virtio stuffs which is more complex than vhost

Or are there any advantages if we do it at virtio layer?

Thanks



I need to take this into account in qmp_x_vhost_enable_shadow_vq too.
