Ok, I noticed some examples others like:

ifcvf_vdpa_set_vq_num(struct vdpa_device *vdpa_dev, u16 qid, u32 num)
{
   ...
   vf->vring[qid].size = num;--------it use the 'size' to store the depth of vqueue.
   ...
}

Or
vdpa_dev_fill(struct vdpa_device *vdev, struct sk_buff *msg, u32 portid, u32 seq, int flags, struct netlink_ext_ack *extack)
{
...
    max_vq_size = vdev->config->get_vq_num_max(vdev);
    if (vdev->config->get_vq_num_min)
          min_vq_size = vdev->config->get_vq_num_min(vdev);
...
   It use the vq_size to store num also.
}

However, some function use max_num to store the return value of get_vq_num_max  like vdpa_dev_probe().
What is your opinion about it? Mst .

Thanks.
