    libvhost-user: support many virtqueues · 6f5fd837
    Stefan Hajnoczi 提交于
    Currently libvhost-user is hardcoded to at most 8 virtqueues.  The
    device backend should decide the number of virtqueues, not
    libvhost-user.  This is important for multiqueue device backends where
    the guest driver needs an accurate number of virtqueues.
    
    This change breaks libvhost-user and libvhost-user-glib API stability.
    There is no stability guarantee yet, so make this change now and update
    all in-tree library users.
    
    This patch touches up vhost-user-blk, vhost-user-gpu, vhost-user-input,
    vhost-user-scsi, and vhost-user-bridge.  If the device has a fixed
    number of queues that exact number is used.  Otherwise the previous
    default of 8 virtqueues is used.
    
    vu_init() and vug_init() can now fail if malloc() returns NULL.  I
    considered aborting with an error in libvhost-user but it should be safe
    to instantiate new vhost-user instances at runtime without risk of
    terminating the process.  Therefore callers need to handle the vu_init()
    failure now.
    
    vhost-user-blk and vhost-user-scsi duplicate virtqueue index checks that
    are already performed by libvhost-user.  This code would need to be
    modified to use max_queues but remove it completely instead since it's
    redundant.
