Dear sir, 

I found when number of cores is larger than number of qat VFs. QAT VFs couldn't be assigned to any vpp_workers. Is this expected behavior?

Here is my startup.conf for vpp v23.10.
unix

{   nodaemon   log /tmp/vpp.log   full-coredump   cli-listen /run/vpp/cli.sock }

cpu

{   main-core 11   corelist-workers 12-14 }

dpdk {
  dev default

{         num-tx-desc 1024         num-rx-queues 1         num-tx-queues 1         num-rx-desc 1024   }

  dev 0000:89:00.0
  dev 0000:89:00.1
   #BDF of QAT VFs
  dev 0000:81:00.1
  dev 0000:81:00.2
