First half of the buffers forwarding part, preparing vhost-vdpa
callbacks to SVQ to offer it. QEMU cannot enable it at this moment, so
this is effectively dead code at the moment, but it helps to reduce
patch size.

I wonder if this is the best. E.g some hardware can support up to 32K
queue size. So this will probably end up with:

1) SVQ use 32K queue size
2) hardware queue uses 256

In that case SVQ vring queue size will be 32K and guest's vring can
negotiate any number with SVQ equal or less than 32K,


Sorry for being unclear what I meant is actually

1) SVQ uses 32K queue size

2) guest vq uses 256

This looks like a burden that needs extra logic and may damage the performance.

And this can lead other interesting situation:

1) SVQ uses 256

2) guest vq uses 1024

Where a lot of more SVQ logic is needed.


including 256.
Is that what you mean?


I mean, it looks to me the logic will be much more simplified if we just allocate the shadow virtqueue with the size what guest can see (guest vring).

Then we don't need to think if the difference of the queue size can have any side effects.



If with hardware queues you mean guest's vring, not sure why it is
"probably 256". I'd say that in that case with the virtio-net kernel
driver the ring size will be the same as the device export, for
example, isn't it?

The implementation should support any combination of sizes, but the
ring size exposed to the guest is never bigger than hardware one.

? Or we SVQ can stick to 256 but this will this cause trouble if we want
to add event index support?

I think we should not have any problem with event idx. If you mean
that the guest could mark more buffers available than SVQ vring's
size, that should not happen because there must be less entries in the
guest than SVQ.

But if I understood you correctly, a similar situation could happen if
a guest's contiguous buffer is scattered across many qemu's VA chunks.
Even if that would happen, the situation should be ok too: SVQ knows
the guest's avail idx and, if SVQ is full, it will continue forwarding
avail buffers when the device uses more buffers.

Does that make sense to you?


Yes.

Thanks
