9445e1e15e66c19e42bea942ba810db28052cd05 virtio-blk-pci: default num_queues to -smp N
Automatically size the number of virtio-blk-pci request virtqueues to
match the number of vCPUs. Other transports continue to default to 1
request virtqueue.
A 1:1 virtqueue:vCPU mapping ensures that completion interrupts are
handled on the same vCPU that submitted the request. No IPI is
necessary to complete an I/O request and performance is improved. The
maximum number of MSI-X vectors and virtqueues limit are respected.
Performance improves from 78k to 104k IOPS on a 32 vCPU guest with 101
virtio-blk-pci devices (ioengine=libaio, iodepth=1, bs=4k, rw=randread
with NVMe storage).
