I don't think this should be a module parameter. The default sizing should be based of the parameters of the actual virtqueue, and if we want to allow tuning it it should be by a sysfs attribute, preferable using the same semantics as SCSI. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
