Bring consistency to identify a virtuque by number #163

Closed paravmellanox closed 1 year ago

paravmellanox commented 1 year ago

Problem statement:

  1. Currently, a virtqueue is identified between the driver and device interchangeably using either number of index terminology.

  2. Between PCI and MMIO transport the queue size (depth) is defined as queue_size and QueueNum respectively.

To avoid confusion and to have consistency, unify them to use as Number.

Solution: Use virtqueue index description and rename MMIO register as QueueSize.
