Subject: [PATCH v3 3/6] test: Add multiqueue support to vhost-user test infrastructure
Date: Wed,  3 Dec 2025 19:54:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251203185435.582096-4-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251203185435.582096-1-lvivier@redhat.com>

With the recent addition of multiqueue support to passt's vhost-user
implementation, we need test coverage to validate the functionality. The
test infrastructure previously only tested single queue configurations.

Add a VHOST_USER_MQ environment variable to control the number of queue
pairs. The queues parameter on the netdev is always set to this value
(defaulting to 1 for single queue). When set to values greater than 1,
the setup scripts add mq=true to the virtio-net device for enabling
multiqueue support.

The test suite now runs an additional set of tests with 8 queue pairs to
exercise the multiqueue paths across all protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP) and
services (DHCP, NDP). Note that the guest kernel will only enable as many
queues as there are vCPUs.
