This has vhost-scsi support the worker ioctls by calling the vhost_worker_ioctl helper. With a single worker, the single thread becomes a bottlneck when trying to use 3 or more virtqueues like: fio --filename=/dev/sdb --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \ --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --numjobs=3 With the patches and doing a worker per vq, we can scale to at least 16 vCPUs/vqs (that's my system limit) with the same command fio command above with numjobs=16: fio --filename=/dev/sdb --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \ --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --numjobs=16 which gives around 2002K IOPs. Note that for testing I dropped depth to 64 above because the vhost/virt layer supports only 1024 total commands per device. And the only tuning I did was set LIO's emulate_pr to 0 to avoid LIO's PR lock in the main IO path which becomes an issue at around 12 jobs/virtqueues.
