Re: [PATCH v2 00/10] Allow for configuring max number of virtqueue pairs

Hi Eli,
I don't know what's wrong, but I've only received replies through the virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list.

Even in the archive I can't find your original series.

Adding virtualization-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to double check what's going wrong.

Thanks,
Stefano

Allow the user to configure the max number of virtqueue pairs for a vdpa
instance. The user can then control the actual number of virtqueue pairs
using ethtool.

Example, set number of VQPs to 2:
$ ethtool -L ens1 combined 2

A user can check the max supported virtqueues for a management device by
runnig:

vdpa dev show
    vdpa-a: type network mgmtdev auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1 vendor_id 5555 \
            max_vqp 3 max_vq_size 256 max_supported_vqs 256

I think the maxsupported_vqs should be an odd number since it should
contain control vq.


and refer to this value when adding a device.

To create a device with a max of 5 VQPs:
vdpa dev add name vdpa-a mgmtdev auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1 max_vqp 5

A question, consider the parent support both net and block, if user use

vdpa dev add name vdpa-a mgmtdev auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1

How do we know it's a net or block device? Or do you expect some block
specific attributes to be added?

Thanks


V1 -> V2:
1. Do not return the index of the control VQ. Instead return an
   indication if Ctrl VQ was negotiated.
2. Do not returen conig information if FEATURES_OK is not set to avoid
   reporting out of sync information.
3. Minor fixes as described by the individual patches
4. Add patches to return the max virtqueues a device is capable of
   supporting.

  vdpa: Provide interface to read driver features
  vdpa/mlx5: Distribute RX virtqueues in RQT object
  vdpa: Read device configuration only if FEATURES_OK
  vdpa: Allow to configure max data virtqueues
  vdpa/mlx5: Fix config_attr_mask assignment
  vdpa/mlx5: Support configuring max data virtqueue pairs
  vdpa: Add support for returning device configuration information
  vdpa/mlx5: Restore cur_num_vqs in case of failure in change_num_qps()
  vdpa: Support reporting max device virtqueues
  vdpa/mlx5: Configure max supported virtqueues
