[PATCH 0/3] This series contains fixes and improvements to the vhost-user implementation

[Laurent Vivier]

The first patch fixes a protocol compliance issue where VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM
was incorrectly returning the number of virtqueues instead of queue pairs. The
vhost-user specification clearly states this should return the maximum number
of queues supported by the backend. Since each queue consists of an RX/TX pair,
the correct value is VHOST_USER_MAX_VQS / 2. This patch also renames the
constant to better reflect its meaning.

The second and third patches address virtqueue handling in the UDP and TCP
receive paths. These changes pass the virtqueue pointer explicitly to the
receive functions, enabling proper queue selection for future multiqueue
support. This ensures packets are processed on the same virtqueue as the
caller.

These changes lay the groundwork for full multiqueue support while fixing
existing protocol compliance issues.

Laurent Vivier (3):
  vhost-user: Fix VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM to return number of queues
  udp_vu: Pass virtqueue pointer to udp_vu_sock_recv()
  tcp_vu: Pass virtqueue pointer to tcp_vu_sock_recv()

[PATCH 1/3] vhost-user: Fix VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM to return number of queues

[Laurent Vivier]

The vhost-user specification states that VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM should
return the maximum number of queues supported by the back-end, not the
number of virtqueues. Since each queue pair consists of RX and TX
virtqueues, we need to divide VHOST_USER_MAX_QUEUES by 2 to get the
correct queue count.

Also rename VHOST_USER_MAX_QUEUES to VHOST_USER_MAX_VQS throughout the
codebase to better reflect that it represents the maximum number of
virtqueues, not queue pairs.

Regardless of future plans, I think it's cleaner to pass the vq than
to rederive it.
