[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 4/6] fix #4295 : virtio-(blk|scsi): enable multiqueue by default

[Alexandre Derumier <aderumier@odiso.com>]

set num_queues = maxcpus for qemu 8.0

redhat already done it in rhev since 2021
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1827722#c11

The -device virtio-blk,num-queues= and -device virtio-scsi,num_queues= parameters control how many virtqueues are available to the guest. Allocating one virtqueue per vCPU improves performance as follows:
Interrupts are handled on the vCPU that submitted the request, avoiding IPIs
The I/O scheduler is automatically set to “none” by the Linux block layer
