So what do you think? Wait. Please note that admin queue is only created and used by PF virtio device. And most probably, this is on hypervisor managing the VFs that are passed to guest VMs. These VFs does not have admin queue. Therefore, this is hardly comparable to control vq. >> >> [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240619171708-mutt-send-email-mst@xxxxxxxxxx/ > >It's true - this can cause guest to run out of vectors for a variety of >reasons. > >First we have guest irqs - I am guessing avq could use IRQF_SHARED ? There is no avq in quest, under normal circumstances.

For cvq irq vector, I believe that sharing with config irq makes sense. Even for admin queue maybe. But again, admin queue is on PF.
