It seems VDPA_ATTR_DEV_MAX_VQS (u32) is what you want (# of data
virtqueues instead of # of data virtqueue pairs)? Not sure what's
possible use of VDPA_ATTR_DEV_NET_CFG_MAX_VQP, was it to
dump/display
the config space max_virtqueue_pairs value (u16, 1-32768) for
virtio-net? Why there's such quasi-duplicate attribute introduced in the first
place?
VDPA_ATTR_DEV_MAX_VQS currently returns vdev->nvqs which equals
whatever passed to _vdpa_register_device(). The latter depends on the value
provided by (struct vdpa_dev_set_config).max_virtqueues.

Max VQs configuration should reuse VDPA_ATTR_DEV_MAX_VQS.
it indicates what is the max vqs a given vdpa device is using. Until now it was driver's choice, now its users choice if provided.
So no need for additional attribute.


I think a device specific attribute might be better:

1) max_virt_queue_pairs is part of config space so it should work as mtu and mac

2) it's more convenient for the user to specifc qps instead of doing 2*N+1 calculation

Thanks



Maybe we should add attributes to add aditional virtqueues like control
virtqueue and their index. They could be returned by
vdpa_dev_net_config_fill().
Yes.
