this sounds highly optimistic ("64 queues is enough for everyone"?)
and probably will be quickly outdated by both hardware and demand...
As such drivers appear in the tree we can adjust the value.
Even the most aggressively multi-queued virtualization and 10GB
ethernet chips I am aware of, both in production and in development,
do not exceed this limit.
Since you think this is worth complaining about, you must know of some
exceptions? :-)
I actually don't, but I assume that demand for queues will quickly increase once
the feature becomes available. e.g. in e1000 hardware (pci-e) we support 2, and
this is really old hardware already (laugh), 82575 has 4.
the ixgbe driver me and Ayyappan posted already supports 64 rx queues and 32
tx...
I can only expect the next generation to take a bigger jump and implement at
least 128 queues... :)
