Why do you need this statement (and hence stack variable)?This statement was to allow to be changed dynamically and would affect all newly created guests or running guests if value happened to be smaller than initially allocated. But I suppose I should make behaviour more consistent with the other params we have right now and just look at initially allocated one `queue->rx_copy.batch_size` ?Yes, that would certainly be consistent but I can see value in allowing it to be dynamically tuned, so perhaps adding some re-allocation code to allow the batch to be grown as well as shrunk might be nice.
The shrink one we potentially risk losing data, so we need to gate the reallocation whenever `rx_copy.num` is less than the new requested batch. Worst case means guestrx_thread simply uses the initial allocated value. Anyhow, something like the below scissored diff (on top of your comments):
