Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (VIRTIO-14) Remove limit on indirect descriptors.


Remove limit on indirect descriptors.
-------------------------------------

                 Key: VIRTIO-14
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/VIRTIO-14
             Project: OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Rusty Russell


Currently the length of an indirect descriptor is limited to the ringsize (so even without indirect descriptors, you'd always make progress).  This is a limitation for some proposed devices, eg virtio-gl.

We probably need some limit (eg. vhost has IOV_MAX = 1024), but perhaps it should be an independent queue parameter.
