Could it be related to the number of file descriptors that can differ between linux an windows?

We have a series of patches that sets the number of queues to the number of vCPU:

a4eef0711b2c vhost-user-blk-pci: default num_queues to -smp N
9445e1e15e66 virtio-blk-pci: default num_queues to -smp N
6a558822849f virtio-scsi-pci: default num_queues to -smp N
4e5163bd8444 virtio-scsi: introduce a constant for fixed virtqueues
1436f32a84c3 virtio-pci: add virtio_pci_optimal_num_queues() helper

And I think it can have inpact on the number of open file descriptors.

You can try by specifiying "num_queues=1" with the virtio interfaces on the QEMU command line.
(ot choose a machine type earlier than 5.2)

Thanks,
Laurent
