Public bug reported:

Description of problem:

Nova compute forces the virtio RX/TX Queue Size also on SRIOV devices.
This makes VM spawn to fail. The configurable RX/TX Queue Size code is similar all the way from OSP10 to OSP13, so it's possible the issue is present also on other releases.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OSP13 z3

How reproducible:

(quick and dirty way)
Change nova config file 

# crudini --set /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/nova_libvirt/etc/nova/nova.conf libvirt rx_queue_size 1024
# crudini --set /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/nova_libvirt/etc/nova/nova.conf libvirt tx_queue_size 1024
 
# restart nova_compute container
docker restart nova_compute

# boot a VM with an SRIOV (PF or VF) interface

Actual results:
Nova add on the sriov port section rx_queue_size

    <interface type="hostdev" managed="yes">
      <mac address="fa:16:3e:9d:f0:52"/>
      <driver name="vhost" rx_queue_size="1024"/>
      <source>
        <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x01" slot="0x14" function="0x7"/>
      </source>
      <vlan>
        <tag id="435"/>
      </vlan>

Expected results:

    <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
      <mac address='fa:16:3e:83:b2:84'/>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x14' function='0x7'/>
      </source>
      <vlan>
        <tag id='435'/>
      </vlan>
      <alias name='hostdev0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>
