[PATCH] vhost: Bump max_mem_regions default to 256
From: Nikolay Kuratov
Date: Thu Mar 19 2026 - 04:03:53 EST
Today, vfio mappings for a single GPU (BAR 0) may consume more than 30
umem entries (e.g. configured by qemu with vhost-net), so bump default to
allow running with a few GPUs without module parameter adjustment - it
is harmless, since umem rarely used and iotlb already have larger limit.
