Sigh... A silly Copy & Paste typo. Here is the udpated patch:

Subject: [PATCH v11 6/7] vhost-user: add multiple queue support

This patch is initially based a patch from Nikolay Nikolaev.

This patch adds vhost-user multiple queue support, by creating a nc
and vhost_net pair for each queue.

Qemu exits if find that the backend can't support the number of requested
queues (by providing queues=# option). The max number is queried by a
new message, VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM, and is sent only when protocol
feature VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ is present first.

The max queue check is done at vhost-user initiation stage. We initiate
one queue first, which, in the meantime, also gets the max_queues the
backend supports.

In older version, it was reported that some messages are sent more times
than necessary. Here we came an agreement with Michael that we could
categorize vhost user messages to 2 types: non-vring specific messages,
which should be sent only once, and vring specific messages, which should
be sent per queue.

Here I introduced a helper function vhost_user_one_time_request(), which
lists following messages as non-vring specific messages:

        VHOST_USER_SET_OWNER
        VHOST_USER_RESET_DEVICE
        VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE
        VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM

For above messages, we simply ignore them when they are not sent the first
time.

v11: inovke qmp_set_link() directly -- Suggested by Jason Wang

v10: don't treat VHOST_USER_SET/GET_[PROTOCOL]_FEATURES as one time
     request, as the two feature bits need to be stored at per-device.

v9: per suggested by Jason Wang, we could invoke qemu_chr_add_handlers()
    once only, and invoke qemu_find_net_clients_except() at the handler
    to gather all related ncs, for initiating all queues. Which addresses
    a hidden bug in older verion in a more QEMU-like way.

v8: set net->dev.vq_index correctly inside vhost_net_init() based on the
    value from net->nc->queue_index.

Some nitpicks and comments. If you plan to send another version, please
consider to fix them.

Reviewed-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>

Btw, it's better to extend current vhost-user unit test to support
multiqueue. Please consider this on top this series.

Thanks

Better use vhost_net_set_vq_index() here.

Looks like vhost_user_dev_request() is a better name here.

How about report a specific error instead of just abort here?

I will, but I'd like to hold a while before getting more comments from
Michael; I don't want to repost a whole new version too often for minor
changes.

BTW, Michael, is this patchset being ready for merge? If not, please
kindly tell me what is wrong so that I can fix them. TBH, I'd really
like to see it be merged soon, as I'm gonna have holidays soon for
two weeks start from this Saturday. I could still reply emails, even
make patches during that, but I guess I only have limited time for that.

Thank you!

Yeah, I will. But, may I do that later? (And if possible, after the
merge?)

There is an error report at vhost_user_start():

                error_report("you are asking more queues than "
                             "supported: %d\n", max_queues);

Or, do you mean something else?

Not sure, but we have error_abort and error_fatal. Markus may know more
about this.

+Multiple queue support
+----------------------
+
+Multiple queue is treated as a protocol extension, hence the slave has to
+implement protocol features first. The multiple queues feature is supported
+only when the protocol feature VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ (bit 0) is set:
+#define VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ    0
+
+The max number of queues the slave supports can be queried with message
+VHOST_USER_GET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES. Master should stop when the number of
+requested queues is bigger than that.
+
+As all queues share one connection, the master uses a unique index for each
+queue in the sent message to identify a specified queue.

 Establish a vhost-user netdev, backed by a chardev @var{id}. The chardev should
 be a unix domain socket backed one. The vhost-user uses a specifically defined
 protocol to pass vhost ioctl replacement messages to an application on the other
