Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next 2/2 tuntap: Increase the number of queues in tun.
Date: Wed,  3 Dec 2014 12:49:37 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1417591177-7985-3-git-send-email-pagupta@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1417591177-7985-1-git-send-email-pagupta@redhat.com>

Networking under kvm works best if we allocate a per-vCPU RX and TX
queue in a virtual NIC. This requires a per-vCPU queue on the host side.

It is now safe to increase the maximum number of queues.
Preceding patche: 'net: allow large number of rx queues'
made sure this won't cause failures due to high order memory
allocations. Increase it to 256: this is the max number of vCPUs
KVM supports.
