Before the patch, seg_max parameter was immutable and hardcoded to 126 (128 - 2) without respect to queue size. This has two negative effects: 1. when queue size is < 128, we have Virtio 1.1 specfication violation: (2.6.5.3.1 Driver Requirements) seq_max must be <= queue_size. This violation affects the old Linux guests (ver < 4.14). These guests crash on these queue_size setups. 2. when queue_size > 128, as was pointed out by Denis Lunev <den@virtuozzo.com>, seg_max restrics guest's block request length which affects guests' performance making them issues more block request than needed. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-12/msg03721.html To mitigate this two effects, the patch adds the property adjusting seg_max to queue size automaticaly. Since seg_max is a guest visible parameter, the property is machine type managable and allows to choose between old (seg_max = 126 always) and new (seg_max = queue_size - 2) behaviors. Not to change the behavior of the older VMs, prevent setting the default seg_max_adjust value for older machine types.
