We agreed off-list that the remaining problems can be fixed in follow-up patches. Kevin
v4: - Use DummyVirtioForceArrays naming in QAPI schema [Markus] v3: - Rebased onto Kevin's block branch - Add StringOutputVisitor "<omitted>" patch to fix "info qtree" crash - Fix QAPI schema formatting [Markus] - Eliminate unnecessary local variable in get_iothread_vq_mapping_list() [Markus] virtio-blk and virtio-scsi devices need a way to specify the mapping between IOThreads and virtqueues. At the moment all virtqueues are assigned to a single IOThread or the main loop. This single thread can be a CPU bottleneck, so it is necessary to allow finer-grained assignment to spread the load. With this series applied, "pidstat -t 1" shows that guests with -smp 2 or higher are able to exploit multiple IOThreads. This series introduces command-line syntax for the new iothread-vq-mapping property is as follows: --device '{"driver":"virtio-blk-pci","iothread-vq-mapping":[{"iothread":"iothread0","vqs":[0,1,2]},...]},...' IOThreads are specified by name and virtqueues are specified by 0-based index. It will be common to simply assign virtqueues round-robin across a set of IOThreads. A convenient syntax that does not require specifying individual virtqueue indices is available: --device '{"driver":"virtio-blk-pci","iothread-vq-mapping":[{"iothread":"iothread0"},{"iothread":"iothread1"},...]},...' There is no way to reassign virtqueues at runtime and I expect that to be a very rare requirement. Note that JSON --device syntax is required for the iothread-vq-mapping parameter because it's non-scalar.
