patch 'vhost: restrict set max queue pair API to VDUSE' has been queued to stable release 23.11.3

[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/30/24. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=23.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=23.11-staging&id=e1bd966815e01d4bbac59b413ec35e5ebd0a416c

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] vhost: restrict set max queue pair API to VDUSE
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit e1808999d36bb2e136a649f4651f36030aa468f1 ]

In order to avoid breaking Vhost-user live-migration, we want the
rte_vhost_driver_set_max_queue_num API to only be effective with
VDUSE.

Furthermore, this API is only really needed for VDUSE where the
device number of queues is defined by the backend. For Vhost-user,
this is defined by the frontend (e.g. QEMU), so the advantages of
restricting more the maximum number of queue pairs is limited to
a small memory gain (a handful of pointers).

Fixes: 4aa1f88ac13d ("vhost: add API to set max queue pairs")
