[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] virtio-net: Fix TX data discard on backend disconnection

[Maxime Coquelin]

This series fixes TX data discard when backend disconnects.

On backend disconnection, QEMU cannot retrieve its internal
avail index, which makes the virtio queue internal state
inconsistent (last_avail_idx will always be 0, whereas used_idx
is correct).

It results in discarding TX data to corrupt the vring state, by
completing descriptors already completed by the backend.

This series fixes this by restoring last_avail_idx to the vring
used idx, as some backends used to do on reconnection.

Maxime Coquelin (2):
  virtio: Add queue interface to restore avail index from vring used
    index
  vhost: restore avail index from vring used index on disconnection
