Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2017 14:32:50 +0100 From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, xen-devel@...ts.xenproject.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: boris.ostrovsky@...cle.com, wei.liu2@...rix.com, paul.durrant@...rix.com, Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com> Subject: [PATCH 0/2] xen/net: limit number of tx/rx queues The Xen network frontend/backend supports multiple tx/rx queues for one virtual interface. The number of queues supported by the backend is set to the number of cpus of the backend driver domain (usually dom0) and the number of queues requested by the frontend is limited by the number of vcpus of the related guest. On large systems this can lead to ridiculous large number of queues exhausting the required number of grant pages rather quick. To avoid this limit the default maximum on both sides to 8. Both frontend and backend maximum can be individually tuned via module parameters.
