I think they are really good questions/suggestions. Thanks! > > 1. Should we use SET_STATUS maybe? I like this idea. I will give it a try. > 2. Do we want a reset ioctl? I think it is helpful. If we use SET_STATUS, maybe we can use it to support the reset. > 3. Do we want ability to enable rings individually? I will make it possible at least in the vhost layer. > 4. Does device need to limit max ring size? > 5. Does device need to limit max number of queues? I think so. It's helpful to have ioctls to report the max ring size and max number of queues. Thanks!
