According to the Virtio Specification, the Queue Size parameter of a virtqueue corresponds to the maximum number of descriptors in that queue, and it does not have to be a power of 2 for packed virtqueues. However, the virtio_pci_modern driver enforced a power of 2 check for virtqueue sizes, which is unnecessary and restrictive for packed virtuqueue. Split virtqueue still needs to check the virtqueue size is power_of_2 which has been done in vring_alloc_queue_split of the virtio_ring layer. To validate this change, we tested various virtqueue sizes for packed rings, including 128, 256, 512, 100, 200, 500, and 1000, with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING enabled, and all tests passed successfully.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
