The check is still valid for split q.
Maybe the right place for such a check is not the pci transport driver.
But layer below where split vs packed q knowledge resides and hence, power of 2 check can be omitted for packed vq.

Hi, Parav
I think you are right, I checked the virtio spec, only packed virtqueue can use queue size which is not power_of_2; so, I think the check can be reserved only for split queue here, something like

struct virtio_device *vdev = &vp_dev->vdev;
if (!virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED)
 && !is_power_of_2(num)){
    dev_warn(&vp_dev->pci_dev->dev, "bad queue size %u", num);
    return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
}

I will fix it in next version

Hi, Michael and Jason
Do you have any comments on this?
