I don't see a conflict between VIRTIO_BLK_F_MQ and VIRTIO_F_ADMIN_VQ. VIRTIO_BLK_F_MQ just indicates to the driver that it can fetch the num_queues device configuration field for the number of request queues. In the case where VIRTIO_F_ADMIN_VQ is negotiated but VIRTIO_BLK_F_MQ is not negotiated the device's virtqueue layout is still: 1. Admin queue 2. requestq1 ... N+1. requestqN The driver will probably only initialize the admin queue and requestq1. Stefan
