When there is a ctlq and it doesn't require interrupt callbacks,the original method of calculating vectors wastes hardware msi or msix resources as well as system IRQ resources. When conducting performance testing using testpmd in the guest os, it was found that the performance was lower compared to directly using vfio-pci to passthrough the device In scenarios where the virtio device in the guest os does not utilize interrupts, the vdpa driver still configures the hardware's msix vector. Therefore, the hardware still sends interrupts to the host os. Because of this unnecessary action by the hardware, hardware performance decreases, and it also affects the performance of the host os.

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 reStructuredText 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.
