The nova libvirt virt driver supports creating instances with multi-queue
|
|
virtio network interfaces. In previous releases nova has based the maximum
|
|
number of virtio queue pairs that can be allocated on the reported kernel
|
|
major version. It has been reported in `bug #1847367`_ that some distros have
|
|
backported changes from later major versions that make major version
|
|
number no longer suitable to determine the maximum virtio queue pair count.
|
|
A new config option has been added to the libvirt section of the nova.conf.
|
|
When defined nova will now use the ``[libvirt]/max_queues`` option to
|
|
define the max queues that can be configured, if undefined it will
|
|
fallback to the previous kernel version approach.
