The MMIO virtio transport spec allows the guest to tell the host how
large the queue size is. Add virtio_queue_set_num() function which
implements this in the QEMU common virtio support code.

Probably needs to go back to default value on reset?
Need to migrate?
Is the default value a max legal value? If yes probably a good
idea to enforce this.

Tricky, since the default value is "whatever was passed to
virtio_add_queue()" and we don't save that anywhere.

For virtio-mmio it is a guest bug to fail to write to the
QueueNum register, so the current behaviour is not out of
specification (and not harmful either AFAICT).

I guess we could add a vring.defaultnum, which would be
set by virtio_add_queue/virtio_del_queue, and have reset
copy defaultnum into num. No migration needed for defaultnum
because it's always the same for a particular qemu config.

It's already migrated (though I'm not entirely sure why).

virtio_add_queue() already enforces this -- it will abort()
if you try to set up a queue with a default size greater
than VIRTQUEUE_MAX_SIZE.

Best not to leak info across reboots.
Also if guest sets num = 0 it will cause all kind of
harm, no?

Sounds good.

No I mean does default value have some meaning?
Does host supply a hint of a max value
besides VIRTQUEUE_MAX_SIZE?

Yes, I had the thought on the way into work that we shouldn't
allow the guest to switch between 0 and non-zero.

It's not clear to me -- virtio_add_queue() doesn't document
the semantics of its queue_size parameter.

> Does host supply a hint of a max value
> besides VIRTQUEUE_MAX_SIZE?

The spec says there's a QueueNumMax register which returns
the maximum for the selected queue. The current implementation
of virtio-mmio always returns VIRTQUEUE_MAX_SIZE. We could
return the default size as the QueueNumMax instead but that
would seem to be limiting the guest unnecessarily.

So I had a look at implementing this, and I noticed that
we already have some odd behaviour on reset. Specifically,
virtio backends like net can create virtio queues based on
guest behaviour (ie setting feature bits). But on reset,
these queues aren't deleted, so a post-reset QEMU will look
different from a from-scratch restarted QEMU...

This in turn makes 'save defaultnum and have reset copy it
into num' awkward, because defaultnum now needs to be
migrated (otherwise it would do the wrong thing on a reset
after a VM migration).

That's a bug. Thanks for the report. :)

Looks like we'll have to fix the bug first :(
