So the following check here does not seem reasonable. (virtio_pci_modern.c)

static struct virtqueue *setup_vq(struct virtio_pci_device *vp_dev,
				  struct virtio_pci_vq_info *info,
				  unsigned index,
				  void (*callback)(struct virtqueue *vq),
				  const char *name,
				  bool ctx,
				  u16 msix_vec)
{

	struct virtio_pci_modern_device *mdev = &vp_dev->mdev;
	struct virtqueue *vq;
	u16 num;
	int err;

	if (index >= vp_modern_get_num_queues(mdev))
		return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT);

	/* Check if queue is either not available or already active. */
	num = vp_modern_get_queue_size(mdev, index);
	if (!num || vp_modern_get_queue_enable(mdev, index))
		return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT);

	if (num & (num - 1)) {
		dev_warn(&vp_dev->pci_dev->dev, "bad queue size %u", num);
		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
	}
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I like to add a dedicated helper.

1. We can add a helper to specify max ring num.
2. Or after specifying ring num, in case of failure, return directly.

I prefer #1
