Since Linux switched to blk-mq as the default in Linux commit
5c279bd9e406 ("scsi: default to scsi-mq"), virtio-scsi LUNs consume
about 10x as much guest kernel memory.
This commit allows you to choose the virtqueue size for each
virtio-scsi-pci controller like this:
-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi,virtqueue_size=16
The default is still 128 as before. Using smaller virtqueue_size
allows many more disks to be added to small memory virtual machines.
For a 1 vCPU, 500 MB, no swap VM I observed:
With scsi-mq enabled (upstream kernel): 175 disks
-"- ditto -"- virtqueue_size=64: 318 disks
-"- ditto -"- virtqueue_size=16: 775 disks
With scsi-mq disabled (kernel before 5c279bd9e406): 1755 disks
Note that to have any effect, this requires a kernel patch:
