Sorry, that was a misunderstanding from my side.
The number of queues set by the driver using MQ_VQ_PAIRS_SET control
message have to be allocated and configured by the driver:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/cs04/virtio-v1.0-cs04.html#x1-1940001

Indeed it limits the number of queue pairs to the number of CPUs.
This is done here:
https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/blob/edda3f50a17015aab1450ca09e3263c7409e4001/NetKVM/Common/ParaNdis_Common.cpp#L956
Linux does the same by the way:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/virtio_net.c#L3092
We rarely face this issue because by default, the management
layers usually set the number of queue pairs to the number of vCPUs if
multiqueue is enabled. But the problem is real.
In my opinion, the problem is more on Vhost-user spec side and/or Vhost-
user backend.
The DPDK backend allocates queue pairs for every time it receives a
Vhost-user message setting a new queue (callfd, kickfd, enable,... see
vhost_user_check_and_alloc_queue_pair()). And then virtio_is_ready()
waits for all the allocated queue pairs to be initialized.
The problem is that QEMU sends some if these messages even for queues
that aren't (or won't be) initialized, as you can see in below log where
I reproduced the issue with Windows 10:
https://pastebin.com/YYCfW9Y3
I don't see how the backend could know the guest driver is done with
currently received information from Qemu as it seems to him some queues
are partially initialized (callfd is set).
With VHOST_USER_SET_STATUS, we will be able to handle this properly, as
the backend can be sure the guest won't initialize more queues as soon
as DRIVER_OK Virtio status bit is set. In my v2, I can add one patch to
handle this case properly, by "destorying" queues metadata as soon as
DRIVER_OK is received.
Note that it was the exact reason why I first tried to add support for
VHOST_USER_SET_STATUS more than two years ago...:

What do you think?
